The receipt of service refers to the certificate made by the people's court or other judicial organs in accordance with the statutory format to prove the service of legal documents.
It is not only the proof of the act of service, but also the proof of the addressee's acceptance of service, and the proof of the litigation legal relationship between the people's court and the addressee.
Extended data:
The people's court has several ways of service:
1, direct delivery
Direct service, also known as service, refers to the way that the people's court sends a special person to directly serve the litigation documents to the addressee for signature. Direct delivery is the most basic mode of delivery.
In other words, everything that can be served directly should be served directly to prevent the delay of litigation and ensure the smooth progress of litigation procedures. Under normal circumstances, if the addressee is a citizen, the citizen will directly sign for it. When a citizen is absent, it can be signed by an adult family member who lives with him.
2, lien service
Lien service means that when the addressee refuses to serve the litigation documents unreasonably, the addressee places the litigation documents at the addressee's residence according to law, which has the legal effect of service.
Article 79 of the Civil Procedure Law stipulates: "The person served or his adult family members living together refuses to accept the litigation documents. The addressee shall invite the representatives of relevant grass-roots organizations or units to be present, explain the situation, record the reasons and date of refusal on the service receipt, and leave the litigation documents at the addressee's residence, which shall be deemed to be served with the signatures or seals of the addressee and witnesses.
3. Entrusted service
Entrusted service means that when the people's court in charge of hearing civil cases has difficulty in directly serving litigation documents, it entrusts other people's courts to serve them on its behalf according to law. Entrusted service and direct service have the same legal effect.
4. Delivery by mail
Service by post means that the people's court sends the documents served to the addressee by registered mail through the post office. Practice shows that court mail service is usually a way of service when the addressee's residence is far from the court and it is difficult to deliver it directly.
