Sheriff or Private Process Server in Honolulu County
HRCP Rule 4(c) is the source for who may serve. It lists the sheriff or a deputy, a person specially appointed by the court, and any person who is at least 18 and not a party. The chief of police or a duly authorized subordinate can serve in any county. A private process server is a straightforward fit.
Who May Serve and How: HRCP Rule 4 in Hickam Housing
Rule 4(d)(1) is built around the individual. Papers can go to the person; or, if the person cannot be found, to someone of suitable age and discretion living at the dwelling house or usual place of abode; or to an agent authorized by appointment or law. Housing office staff, guards and neighbors are not named. We say nothing here about base access, since that is outside Rule 4. Companies and associations are reached through an officer, a managing or general agent, or an authorized agent under Rule 4(d)(3).
Rule 4(g) then requires the server to make proof of service to the court promptly and within the response time. Generally an answer is due within 20 days of service under Rule 12(a)(1), but a statute or order may change it. Rule 4 as verified sets no deadline for completing service.
