When is it necessary to mail documents alongside providing actual notice?

The correct approach to mailing documents alongside providing actual notice is when the documents are not personally delivered. In process serving, the primary aim is to ensure that the party being served is adequately informed about the legal action against them. If the individual is not available for personal delivery, mailing the documents to their last known address becomes necessary to fulfill legal requirements and ensure that the affected party is aware of the documents and any subsequent actions they must take.

When personal delivery is possible and successfully executed, there is generally no need to mail the documents. The intent is to maintain the integrity of the service process, guaranteeing that both the delivery method and receipt are legally sound and notice is effectively achieved. This reinforces the importance of both actual notice and the jurisdictional adherence required in such cases.
