Which of the following is NOT a method for serving a governmental entity?

Mailing to the governor is not a recognized method for serving a governmental entity. In most jurisdictions, serving a governmental entity requires adhering to specific protocols that ensure the appropriate legal procedures are followed. These protocols usually dictate delivering the legal documents to specific individuals or locations designated by law, which often include the municipal attorney, a designated individual, or the entity's chief executive.

Mailing documents to the governor, however, does not guarantee that the appropriate legal entity will receive them in a manner compliant with service of process requirements. The governor is not directly involved in the administrative procedures of serving legal documents to governmental entities. Therefore, this method does not fulfill the necessary legal requirements for proper service.
