Minn. Gen. R. Prac. 355.04

As amended through July 3, 2024
Rule 355.04 - Proof of Service

Subdivision 1. Parties. All documents filed with the court shall be accompanied by an affidavit of service, an acknowledgment of service by the party or party's attorney if served by alternative service, or, if served by publication, by the affidavit of the printer or the printer's designee. An affidavit of service shall describe what was served, state how the document was served, upon whom it was served, and the date, time, and place of service. When a document has been served through the E-Filing System in accordance with Rule 14, the record of service on the E-Filing System shall constitute proof of service.

Subd. 2. Court Administrator. If the court administrator is required or permitted under these rules to serve a document, service may be proved by filing an affidavit of service, by filing a copy of the written notice, or by making a notation in the court's computerized records that service was made.

Minn. Gen. R. Prac. 355.04

Amended effective 7/1/2015

Advisory Committee Comment-2015 Amendment

Rule 355.03 is amended to provide a cross-reference to Rule 14, governing electronic service generally. Additionally, the former provision relating to the completion of service by facsimile is deleted because that subject is now governed by Rule 14. The EFiling System provides proof of service for any service made with it; if a document is served by other means, such as personally, by mail, or other agreed-upon means, separate proof of service must be prepared and filed.
