Have your server mail the papers
Your server mails the papers to your spouse or partner unless they have a lawyer. If they have a lawyer, mail the papers to their lawyer.
Your server should note the date they mailed the papers. They need this information to fill out the Proof of Service form.

Fill out Proof of Service form
You can use Proof of Service by Mail (form FL-335).
It helps if you fill in the top part of the form with the case and court information.
Your server can then fill in the information about how, when, and where they served the papers. Your server must then sign the form.

Keep the Proof of Service
