Which document records the service event and is sworn and notarized?

• A. Proof of Service
• B. Subpoena Ad Testificandum
• C. Writ of Execution
• D. Affidavit of Service

Answer: (D)

Recording service events hinges on a sworn, notarized statement from the process server. This is the Affidavit of Service, which documents who was served, when, where, and how service was effected, and is signed under oath (often notarized). Courts rely on this sworn record to prove that service occurred properly, which is essential for the process to proceed. The Subpoena Ad Testificandum is a command to appear and testify, not a record of service. The Writ of Execution orders enforcement of a judgment, not recording service. A Proof of Service can indicate that service occurred, but the specific requirement of being sworn and notarized is fulfilled by the Affidavit of Service.
