6-23/800.00 Registered Process Server


6-23/790.00 Employer Failure to Notify Employee
6-24/000.00 Writ of Possession of Real Property

A registered process server may levy under a writ of attachment pursuant to CCP 699.080.  Prior to making a levy, the registered process server must open a file with the levying officer where the levy is to be served by doing the following (CCP 706.108):

  • deposit a copy of the writ with the levying officer
  • deposit a copy of the application for issuance of an earnings withholding order
  • a copy of the earnings withholding order
  • pay the required levying officer service fee ($35) (GOV 26750)

The registered process server shall serve on the employer:

  • The original and one copy of the Earnings Withholding Order (WG-002)
  • Confidential Statement of Judgment Debtor’s Social Security Number (WG-035) (if provided)
  • Employee Instructions (WG-003)
  • The Employer’s Return (WG-005)
  • Claim of Exemption (WG-006)
  • Financial Statement (WG-007)

The Sheriff is requesting the registered process server also serve the Addendum to Earnings Withholding Order on the employer at the same time.  A copy of the addendum is provided on the following page. 

Within five court days after service under this section, all of the following shall be filed with the levying officer:

  • The writ of execution, if it is not already in the hands of the levying officer.
  • Proof of service on the employer of the papers listed above.
  • Instructions in writing, as required by CCP 687.010.

The levying officer shall perform all other duties required by this chapter as if the levying officer had served the earnings withholding order. If the registered process server does not comply with the requirements above, the service of the earnings withholding order is ineffective and the levying officer is not required to perform any duties under the order and may terminate the order and may release any withheld earnings to the judgment debtor.
