How to Serve Process on the Department of Transportation (DOT) and Where - POST COVID-19

Can you serve the U.S. Department of Transportation by certified mail? YES! Same Day Process can assist with serving the DOT by certified mail and provide an affidavit of service accordingly. Just click on “Send A Job” at the top of the screen, then click on “Service of Process.”

Same Day Process can certify mail to any government agencies and/or companies that are refusing to accept in-hand service and track the certified mailing. We will place the certified mailing tracking number in the affidavit and attach the certified return mail slip to the affidavit. We also scan the certified mailing slip and completed affidavit into our secure database. We store this information for your convenience so that you can access it when needed.

We are constantly watching government and corporate websites and still attempting in-hand service to verify current procedures when requested. We are happy to attempt in-hand, and then certify mail if the in-hand service fails. We cannot guarantee that the government provided links or corporate sites are current and they may accept in-hand service at any time without notice.

Current procedure for serving legal documents upon the US Department of Transportation is as follows: Certified mailing the legal documents to:

1200 New Jersey Avenue, SE, Washington, DC 20590

Just click on “Send A Job” at the top of the screen, then click on “Service of Process.”

Serving an individual at a government facility

If it is a personal matter involving an employee of the Department of Transportation, they must be personally served. Serving a subject personally at this location can be extremely difficult if the subject to be served is unwilling to receive. Security will stop us from entering and must know the reason for service. This, sadly, will notify the subject of our attempt to locate them and may cause them to hide or evade service altogether.

We do provide Advanced Skip Tracing for difficult to locate subjects nationwide. Please click on this link https://www.samedayprocess.com/services/skiptracing.html. Or Just click on “Send A Job” at the top of the screen, then click on “Service of Process.”

*Information above is subject to change. Please go to the main website for the Department of Transportation to verify the service rules and regulations are current. We are constantly watching these sites for changes.
