Civil Papers / Process Service Information

Due to the amount of papers that are received, our office should receive documents to be served within a reasonable amount of time. Barron County Sheriff’s Department will make every effort to have documents served in a timely fashion within Barron County.

What to send for service:

  • One (1) copy of all paperwork for each person(s) to be served

  • Cost(s) in the form of check, money order or cashier’s check

  • Pre-posted return envelope must be included for return of the Certificate of Service

  • We DO NOT accept faxed or emailed copies for paper service, except for restraining orders sent by other Government agencies; if payment is required for TRO service, payment needs to be made prior to service attempts

  • Prepayment of service is required, unless you are a government agency

  • Attorney/Petitioner/Plaintiff should make sure that the address where paper is to be served is in Barron County; if the Process Server has to find the street address, it will count as an attempted service
