From start to finish, it takes people wanting to become one about four (4) to five (5) weeks to complete their Oklahoma process server license application. Once an applicant fills out this application and pays the required fee, the court clerk sets the court date for the judge to review it.
Assuming the applicant completes the other tasks of securing a five-thousand-dollar ($5,000) Oklahoma process server license bond from an insurance company, secures two passport-style photographs, and publishes notice of the license application in an official legal paper like The Journal Record before the court date and does not have any process server license ineligibility hindrances, the applicant should have her/his/their license application approved by the judge on the court date set by the court clerk.

They may use a wide variety of equipment and devices to help protect themselves from dangerous defendants/respondents who might try to harm or even murder them. These devices include, but are not limited to, the following:
Tasers:
They may carry a Taser to help protect herself/himself/themselves from violent defendants/respondents. Tasers are indeed powerful and mostly non-lethal weapons, so they may use Tasers more often and sooner than a firearm in less threatening situations.
Of course, Tasers only fire off one shot at a short distance before they must stop and reload it. Thus, they can sometimes prove to be cumbersome and will not work on more than one individual at a time.
In addition, other downsides include a Taser’s expensive cost to buy and reload, as well as the fact that once the expert shoots someone with it, she/he/they must then continue to squeeze the trigger to keep the electricity flowing or the paralyzing current will stop and the defendant/respondent can get back up and try to harm or kill one.
For criminal liability, civil liability, and common-sense reasons, it is also advisable for them to receive specialized training in how to properly use Tasers and pepper gel, prior to using those self-defense weapons on someone else. One of the local schools in Oklahoma that offers these them training classes for process servers and private detectives is the SOR Training Center.
Stun Guns:
Stun guns work much like Tasers, but they do not have the hooks that stick into an individual. Though typically less expensive than their Taser counterparts, agents must also use stun guns at a very close range for them to be effective.
Pepper Gel:
Pepper gel is the preferred defensive weapon of the private investigators. It has many positives to its use, which include but are not limited to the following:
As one can clearly see, a specialist can purchase it very cheaply and can use it in the widest range of threatening situations due to its non-lethal damage. It is important for them to buy pepper gel instead of pepper spray, because it tends to stick onto dangerous people easier and longer.
Firearms:
The use of firearms during the process serving in Oklahoma and private investigations requires special “armed” classifications on Oklahoma private investigator licenses or Oklahoma security guard licenses. Firearms come with enormous responsibility and risks, and they should only use them under the direst and lethal of circumstances.
Shirt/Dash/Cell Phone Cameras:
All should utilize some type of shirt camera, dash camera, etc., when process serving in Oklahoma. In the event a defendant/respondent contests effective service or becomes violent, shirt cameras and dash cameras can always help record the truth for the police and judges to later learn about and know.
Loud Noise Alarms:
They can also utilize loud noise alarms that scream out a piercing sound to both distract an attacker and alert others that the agent need immediate assistance.
Batons:
Though the use of police grade collapsible batons by professionals can be useful, they may possibly come with training requirements before their use in the State of Oklahoma. These special defensive batons are relatively lightweight and are not very expensive, but they also have a short range in which they can use them for defensive purposes.
Emergency Assistance/Help Apps:
Some apps exist that can help to immediately alert police and other authorities to their location. Even dating apps like Noonlight have these convenient yet discreet silent alarm features to help keep them safe.
A affidavit of service tells the court whether the process server or sheriff’s deputy was able to complete service upon a defendant/respondent. An affidavit of service will include such information as the case name and number, the plaintiff/respondent, the documents served, the date and time of service, etc. They typically provide these Oklahoma process server affidavits of service to their client or directly to the court clerk’s office prior to the court date.
The State of Oklahoma issues and oversees licenses via each county court clerk’s office in their respective counties.

There are many kinds of service of process, and it is important for process servers to know what they are and the differences between them. These different types are as follow:
The courts consider personal service to be the most effective and desirable form. This occurs when a process server or a sheriff’s deputy directly hands the documents to the defendant/respondent. The courts also consider personal service to be when a plaintiff/petitioner mails a copy of the documents via U.S. certified mailing with a return receipt and the defendant/respondent personally signs for the documents.
Substitute one occurs when a licensed individual delivers court documents meant for an individual to someone else living in the home with her/him/them who is over the age of fifteen-and-a-half (15 ½). When conducting it upon a business, governmental agency, or nonprofit organization, the person who wishes to complete the service of process via substituted service can leave the documents with a manager or legal department instead of the owner or registered agent.
Service by posting, also known as “nail and mail” service of process, occurs when the agents posts the court documents upon the front door where the individual defendant/respondent resides or where the business is located. Courts most often allow for the posting of legal documents in cases where he/she is serving a notice of non-renewal of rent/lease, a notice to pay or quit, or as part of a service when a plaintiff/petitioner is seeking a “possession only” judgment during a petition and summons for forcible entry and detainer/eviction.
When the petitioner/plaintiff and defendant/respondent have legal counsel, sometimes the parties will serve process upon one another by and through their attorneys. This form usually takes place via E-mail, fax, etc., and some courts consider it a personal service while others deem it to be a substitute service.
Courts often consider this method to be a method of last resort, and in most cases, the courts do not allow this service. Courts usually only allow this when the petitioner/plaintiff has shown that she/he/they has/have made every possible effort to serve the defendant/respondent via personal or substitute service, and the professional can lawfully attest that they have tried everything and have done their due diligence. Courts usually only allow service by publication in cases like divorce and other less serious legal proceedings.
Service by publication occurs when the plaintiff/petitioner publishes a formal notice of the legal proceeding in an official legal journal or paper like The Journal Record for several months. While it is unlikely the defendant/respondent will ever see the legal notice, the assumption is that she/he/they will. Courts typically use this method on defendants/respondents whom the petitioner/plaintiff simply cannot locate or who are extremely evasive and actively avoiding service.
Unless they are simultaneously licensed as a police officer, then no, they may not arrest anyone and is not considered to be a police officer or other law enforcement personnel.
Sadly, no, the State of Oklahoma does not currently require special training or education to become one. Process serving is a much more complicated task than Oklahoma’s lawmakers think it is. There are so many laws like the Oklahoma Rules of Civil Procedure, Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, and dangers that every agent should first be more aware of before ever seeking to become a professional and get an Oklahoma process server license.
