The Legal Requirements for Posting in Oklahoma
Diligent Search
Before posting is allowed, a diligent effort to locate and personally serve the individual must be made and documented. Our standard service attempts satisfy this requirement.
Court Approval
In many cases, a judge must approve service by posting after being shown that personal service was not possible.
Conspicuous Posting
The notice must be posted in a conspicuous (obvious) place on the property, typically the front door.
Mailing Requirement
A copy of the notice must also be mailed to the individual's last known address via certified mail. We handle both the posting and the mailing to ensure full compliance.
Affidavit of Service
We provide a detailed Affidavit of Service that documents the posting location, date, time, and includes photographic evidence, along with proof of mailing.

What is "posting and mailing" service?
It is a two-part alternative to personal service where a legal notice is physically posted on a property and a second copy is sent via certified mail. Both steps are required for the service to be legally valid in Oklahoma.
When is legal notice posting typically used?
It is most commonly used in eviction cases after attempts to personally serve the tenant have failed. It is also used for foreclosure notices, quiet title actions, and other cases involving property where a party cannot be found.
Why should I hire a professional for posting?
Improper posting can cause your case to be dismissed. A professional process server ensures that all legal requirements are met, provides photographic proof, and supplies a court-admissible Affidavit of Service, protecting your legal interests.
