For example:FRCP 45 requires the issuing party to personally serve subpoenaed parties (FRCP 45(b)(1));some states statutes require the issuing party to open a miscellaneous action or obtain a commission and then serve the subpoena according to that state’s rules; andsome state rules permit service of subpoenas by less formal means, such as by certified mail or by email or social media if other methods of service are unsuccessful (for example, Ohio R.

In these cases, parties often serve their subpoenas at the branch office where the employee works.
