If not, service by mail may be attempted again, or other methods authorized by these rules or statutes may be used.

Tennessee Rules of Civil Procedure § 4.04. Service Upon Defendants within the State The plaintiff shall furnish the person doing the service with such copies of the summons and complaint as are necessary. Service shall be made as follows:

(1) Upon an individual other than an unmarried infant or an incompetent person, by delivering a copy of the summons and the complaint to the individual personally, or if he or she evades or attempts to evade service, by leaving copies thereof at the individual’s dwelling house or usual place of abode with some person of suitable age and discretion then residing therein, whose name shall appear on the proof of service, or by delivering the copies to an agent authorized by appointment or by law to receive service on behalf of the individual served.

(2) Upon an unmarried infant or an incompetent person, by delivering a copy of the summons and complaint to the person’s residence guardian or conservator if there is one known to the plaintiff; or if no guardian or conservator is known, by delivering the copies to the individual’s parent having custody within this state; or if no such parent is within this state, then by delivering the copies to the person within this state having control of the individual. If none of the persons defined and enumerated above exist, the court shall appoint a practicing attorney as guardian ad litem to whom the copies shall be delivered. If any of the persons directed by this paragraph to be served is a plaintiff, then the person who is not a plaintiff who stands next in the order named above shall be served. In addition to the service provided in this paragraph, service shall also be made on an unmarried infant who is fourteen (14) years of age or more and not otherwise incompetent.

(3) Upon a partnership or unincorporated association (including a limited liability company) which is named defendant under a common name, by delivering a copy of the summons and of the complaint to a partner or managing agent of the partnership or an officer or managing agent of the association, or to an agent authorized by appointment or by law to receive service on behalf of the partnership or association.

(4) Upon a domestic corporation, or a foreign corporation doing business in this state, by delivering a copy of the summons and the complaint to an officer or managing agent thereof, or to the chief agent in the county wherein the action is brought, or by delivering the copies to any other agent authorized by appointment or by law to receive service on behalf of the corporation.

(5) Upon a nonresident individual who transacts business through an office or agency in this state, or a resident individual who transacts business through an office or agency in a county other than the county in which the resident individual resides, in any action growing out of or connected with the business of that office or agency, by delivering a copy of the summons and the complaint to the person in charge of the office or agency.

(6) Upon the state of Tennessee or any agency thereof, by delivering a copy of the summons and the complaint to the attorney general of the state or an assistant attorney general.

(9) Upon any other governmental or any quasi-government entity, by delivering a copy of the summons and the complaint to any officer or managing agent thereof.

(10) Service by mail of a summons and complaint upon a defendant may be made by the plaintiff, the plaintiff’s attorney, or by any person authorized by statute. After the complaint is filed, the clerk shall, upon request, furnish the original summons, a certified copy thereof, and a copy of the filed complaint to the plaintiff, the plaintiff’s attorney, or another authorized person for service by mail. Such person shall send, postage prepaid, a certified copy of the summons and a copy of the complaint by registered return receipt or certified return receipt mail to the defendant. The original summons shall be used to return the service of process under Rule 4.03 (2). Service by mail shall not be the basis for the entry of a judgment by default unless the record contains a return receipt showing personal acceptance by the defendant or persons designated by Rule 4.04 or statute. If service by mail is unsuccessful, it may be tried again, or other methods authorized by these rules or statutes may be used.

Tennessee Rules of Civil Procedure § 4.05. Service Upon Defendant Outside This State The plaintiff shall furnish the person doing the service with such copies of the summons and complaint as are necessary. Service shall be made as follows:

(1) Whenever the law of this state authorizes service outside this state, the service when reasonably calculated to give actual notice, may be made:

(a) by any form of service authorized for service within this state under Rule 4.04;

(b) in any manner prescribed by the law of the state in which service is effected for action in any of the courts of general jurisdiction in that state;

(c) as directed by the court. This Rule (4.05) provisions are inapplicable when service is effected in a place not within any judicial district of the United States.

(2) Service of process under this Rule (4.05) shall include a copy of the summons and the complaint.

(3) Service by mail upon a corporation shall be addressed to an officer or managing agent thereof, or to the chief agent in the county wherein the action is brought, or by delivering the copies to any other agent authorized by appointment or by law to receive service on behalf of the corporation.

(4) Service by mail upon a partnership or unincorporated association (including a limited liability company) that is named defendant under a common name shall be addressed to a partner or managing agent of the partnership or an officer or managing agent of the association, or to an agent authorized by appointment or by law to receive service on behalf of the partnership or association.

(5) When service of summons, process, or notice is provided for or permitted by registered or certified mail, under the laws of Tennessee, and the addressee, or the addressee’s agent, refuses to accept delivery. It is so stated in the return receipt of the United States Postal Service, the written return receipt, if returned and filed in action, shall be deemed an actual and valid service of the summons, process, or notice. Service by mail is complete upon mailing. For purposes of this paragraph, the United States Postal Service notation that a properly addressed registered or certified letter is “unclaimed,” or other similar notation, is sufficient evidence of the defendant’s refusal to accept delivery.

Tennessee Rules of Civil Procedure § 4.06. Reserved.

Tennessee Rules of Civil Procedure § 4.07. Waiver of Service; Duty to Save Costs of Service; Request to Waive

(1) A defendant who waives service of a summons does not thereby waive any objection to the venue or the court’s jurisdiction over the person of the defendant.

(2) An individual, corporation, or association that is subject to service and that receives notice of an action in the manner provided in this paragraph must avoid unnecessary costs of serving the summons. To avoid costs, the plaintiff may notify such a defendant of the commencement of the action and request that the defendant waives the service of a summons. The notice and request

(a) shall be in writing and shall be addressed directly to the defendant, if an individual, or else to an officer or managing or general agent (or other agent authorized by the appointment of law to receive service of process) of a defendant subject to service;

(b) shall be dispatched through first-class mail or other reliable means;

(c) shall be accompanied by a copy of the complaint and shall identify the court in which it has been filed;

(d) shall inform the defendant of the consequences of compliance and of a failure to comply with the request;

(e) shall set forth the date on which the request is sent;

(f) shall allow the defendant a reasonable time to return the waiver, which shall be at least 30 days from the date on which the request is sent; and

(g) shall provide the defendant with an extra copy of the notice and request, as well as a prepaid means of compliance in writing. If a defendant fails to comply with a request for waiver made by a plaintiff, the court shall impose the costs subsequently incurred in effecting service on the defendant unless good cause for the failure is shown.

(3) A defendant that, before being served with process, timely returns a waiver so requested is not required to serve an answer to the complaint until 60 days after the request for waiver of service was sent.

(4) When the plaintiff files a waiver of service with the court, the action shall proceed, except as provided in paragraph (3), as if a summons and complaint had been served when filing the waiver, no proof of service shall be required.

(5) The costs to be imposed on a defendant under paragraph (2) for failure to comply with a request to waive service of a summons shall include the costs subsequently incurred in effecting service together with the costs, including a reasonable attorney’s fee, of any motion required to collect the costs of service.

Tennessee Rules of Civil Procedure § 4.08. Constructive Service.
In cases where constructive service of process is permissible under the statutes of this state, such service shall be made in the manner prescribed by those statutes unless otherwise expressly provided in these rules.

Tennessee Rules of Civil Procedure § 4.09. Amendment.
At any time in its discretion and upon such terms as it deems, the court may allow any process or proof of service thereof to be amended unless it appears that material prejudice would result in the party’s substantial rights against whom the process was issued. Added by order filed February 1, 1995, effective July 1, 1996; order effective July 1, 1997; and by order effective July 1, 1998.

Tennessee Rules of Civil Procedure Rule 4A. Service Upon Defendant in a Foreign Country
Service upon (1) an individual from whom a waiver has not been obtained and filed, other than an infant or an incompetent person, (2) a corporation, or (3) a partnership or other unincorporated association (including a limited liability company) may be effected in a place, not within any judicial district of the United States:

(1) by any internationally agreed means reasonably calculated to give notice, such as those means authorized by the Hague Convention on the Service Abroad of Judicial and Extrajudicial Documents; or

(2) if there are no internationally agreed means of service or the applicable international agreement allows other means of service, provided that service is reasonably calculated to give notice:

(A) in the manner prescribed by the law of the foreign country for service in that country in action in any of its courts of general jurisdiction; or

(B) as directed by the foreign authority in response to a letter rogatory or letter of request; or

(C) unless prohibited by the law of the foreign country, by

(i) delivery to the individual personally of a copy of the summons and the complaint; or

(ii) any form of mail requiring a signed receipt to be addressed and dispatched by the clerk of the court to the party to be served; or

(3) in the case of a corporation, by service, as provided in 4.04 (4) upon any corporation that has acted as the corporate defendant’s agent about the matter that is the subject of the litigation or the stock of which is wholly owned by the corporate defendant.

(4) by other means not prohibited by international agreement as may be directed by the court.
Effective July 1, 1997.

Tennessee Rules of Civil Procedure Rule 4B. Service Upon Secretary of State as Agent for Service of Appeals

(1) Whenever the law of this state permits service of any process, notice, or demand, upon a defendant outside the territorial limits of this state, the secretary of state may be served as the agent for that defendant. Service shall be made by delivering to the secretary of state the original and one copy of the such process, notice, or demand, duly certified by the court clerk in which the suit or action is pending or brought, together with the proper fee. A statement that identifies the grounds for which service of the secretary of state is applicable must be included.

(2) The secretary of state shall endorse the time of receipt upon the original and copy and immediately shall promptly send, prepaid, the certified copy by registered or certified return receipt mail to the defendant, along with a written notice that service was so made. If the defendant to be served is a corporation, the secretary of state shall send the copy, along with a written notice that service of the original was made, addressed to the such corporation at its registered office or principal office as shown in the records on the file in the secretary of state’s office or as shown in the official registry of the state or country in which such corporation is incorporated. Suppose none of the previously mentioned addresses is available to the secretary of state. In that case, service may be made on any (1) of the incorporators at the address outlined in the charter. The secretary of state may require the plaintiff or the plaintiff’s attorney to furnish the latter address.

(3) In case it shall appear, either before or after the lodging of the process as above, provided that such nonresident is dead, then either original or alias process may issue hereunder directed to the personal representative of such nonresident deceased and shall be sent as herein provided to the court with probate jurisdiction for the county and state of the residence of the deceased at the time of the nonresident’s death. No appearance need be made, nor shall judgment be taken against such personal representative until the lapse of sixty (60) days from the date of mailing the process herein to such probate court. The procedure for mailing such process and proof of service thereof shall be provided for service upon living persons.

(4) The fee paid by the plaintiff, when the fact of payment is endorsed on the original process by the secretary of state, shall be taxed as the plaintiff’s cost to abide by the judgment.

(5) Acceptance of such registered or certified mail by any member of the addressee’s family over the age of sixteen (16) years and residing in the same dwelling with him shall constitute a sufficient delivery thereof to the addressee.

(6) The refusal or failure of a defendant’s agent to accept delivery of the registered or certified mail provided for in subpart (1), or the refusal or failure to sign the return receipt, shall not affect the validity of such service. Any such defendant refusing or failing to accept delivery of such registered or certified mail shall be charged with knowledge of the contents of any process, notice, or demand contained therein.

(7) When the secretary of state receives the registered or certified mail return or when a defendant refuses or fails to accept delivery of the registered or certified mail, and it is returned to the secretary of state, the secretary of state shall forward the receipt or such refused or undelivered mail to the clerk of the court which the suit or action is pending, together with the original process, notice, or demand, a copy of the notice sent to the defendant corporation and the secretary of state’s affidavit setting forth his or her compliance with this Rule. Upon receipt thereof, the clerk shall copy the affidavit on the rule docket of the court and shall mark it, the receipt or refused or undelivered mail, and the copy of the notice as of the day received and placed them in the file of the suit or action where the process and pleadings are kept, and such receipt or refused or undelivered mail, affidavit, and copy of the notice shall be and become a part of the technical record in the suit or action, and thereupon service on the defendant shall be complete.

(8) The secretary of state shall keep a record of all processes, notices, and demands under this Rule. The record shall include the time of such service and the secretary of state’s action with reference thereto. Effective July 1, 1997; amended by order effective July 1, 1998.
