How can a governmental entity be served in Arizona?

In Arizona, serving a governmental entity requires following specific procedures outlined in state law. The correct approach is to deliver the documents to the Attorney General or a designated individual who is authorized to accept service on behalf of the governmental entity. This ensures that the notice or legal document is officially received by someone in a position to respond or take necessary action.

Delivering to the Governor or mailing to the county seat does not meet the legal requirements for serving a governmental entity. While some individuals may think that contacting the entity's legal department could suffice, it does not fulfill the statutory requirements for official service of process. By serving the Attorney General or a designated representative, the legal process is established appropriately, protecting the rights of both the entity involved and the person initiating the legal action.
