Sheriff or Private Process Server in Hawaii County
The sheriff is not the only person who can do this. HRCP Rule 4(c) says the sheriff or a deputy may serve, but so may a person specially appointed by the court and so may any individual aged 18 or over who is not a party. The chief of police or an authorized subordinate may also serve in any county.
Who May Serve and How: HRCP Rule 4 on Hawaii Island
Rule 4(d)(1) turns on where the defendant is when the server arrives. Found in person, the defendant is handed the summons and complaint together. Not found, the papers may be left at the dwelling house or usual place of abode with a person of suitable age and discretion living there. Or they can be delivered to an agent the defendant authorized by appointment, or whom the law authorizes, to receive service. When a company is the defendant in the Third Circuit, Rule 4(d)(3) points to an officer, a managing or general agent, or another authorized agent.
Rule 4(g) has the server make proof of service to the court promptly, and in any event within the period the served party has to respond. In most cases that period is 20 days from service under Rule 12(a)(1), though a statute or court order may set a different one. Rule 4 as we verified it gives no fixed deadline for completing service.

Eviction Notices and Summary Possession in Hawaiian Paradise Park
Rental notices in Hawaii run through HRS chapter 521. Where a tenancy is month-to-month, a landlord's written notice ends it at least 45 days before the termination date, and a tenant leaving a month-to-month tenancy writes at least 28 days ahead.
If rent is unpaid or a rental term is broken, chapter 521 sets the notice period, and the current statute or the notice's own text is the place to confirm it. A landlord or attorney makes that call; a process server only delivers. Separately, Act 278 of 2025 set up a mediation program for nonpayment evictions that began in 2026 and applies before a case is filed. See eviction notices.
