The United States District Court summons and complaint should be served by a Private Process Server who is not a party and is at least 18 years old. Service is effected by the U.S. Marshal only when specifically ordered by the court. In general, such court-ordered service will be limited to cases where the plaintiff is authorized by the court to proceed in forma pauperis, under 28 USC 1915, or as a seaman, under 28 USC 1916. However, in any case, the court has discretion to order service by the U.S. Marshal.

When the party seeking United States District Court process serving services is the United States, the U.S. Marshal is no longer required to effect service. The United States, like other civil litigants, is expected to use United States District Court Process Servers and not parties to serve its summons and complaints and or Subpoenas. Because service by the U.S. Marshal may continue to be appropriate in certain cases, the Marshal will normally consult with the U.S. attorney about whether the former should continue to effect service of a summons and complaint on behalf of the United States.
