What is “Notice of Service of Process by Publication”?

Service by publication is when a notice regarding the action is placed in the newspaper in the county where defendant last resided.

This alternative method for service is technically more complicated than the other methods, so that it may be difficult to effectuate without the assistance of an attorney. Service by publication also increases the standard waiting period from thirty to forty days (measured from the date of the first such newspaper notice).
