Form 6B Affidavit Of Service
Use a Form 6b Affidavit Of Service template to make your document workflow more streamlined.
What Form 6B Affidavit Of Service does
Form 6B Affidavit Of Service is a sworn record showing how, when, where, and on whom legal documents were served. The server or affiant identifies the case, describes the documents delivered, records the delivery method and date, and signs the statement. Depending on the jurisdiction, the signature may require notarization or another authorized verification step. Courts use the affidavit as evidence of service, but the applicable state statute, court rule, and filing procedure control what information, signature, and timing are required.
Who uses Form 6B and why
Legal services
Legal services teams use Form 6B Affidavit Of Service to document when pleadings, notices, motions, or other case papers were delivered. The server records the recipient, delivery method, date, time, and location, then signs before any required notary or court filing step.
Process servers
Process servers and litigation support staff use Form 6B Affidavit Of Service after delivering documents to a party. The completed affidavit preserves service details for counsel and the court, while signNow helps route signatures and retain the signed record with an audit trail.
Why teams look for DocuSign alternatives

The signNow Business plan is $8 per user per month with annual billing and includes templates, audit trails, and mobile apps. Business Premium is $15 per user per month annually and adds bulk send, kiosk mode, payments, and quick invite links.
Use signNow’s audit trail to preserve signer actions, timestamps, and document history. ESIGN and UETA support electronic signatures when intent, consent, attribution, and record reproduction are established; they do not replace a state court’s service or notarization rule.
If a court requires notarization, signing in signNow alone does not satisfy that requirement. Confirm whether the jurisdiction permits remote online notarization, in-person electronic notarization, or requires a wet-ink notarial act before filing the affidavit.
For consumer-facing electronic records, obtain the required ESIGN consent and confirm that the signer can access and reproduce the record. For a process server acting in a court matter, also follow the applicable court rule and service statute.
Export the completed PDF and signNow audit trail after execution, then place both in the case file. If the matter involves protected health information, signNow’s HIPAA-compliant workflow requires a business associate agreement.
