Certificate of Service

Rev. 12/06/2024

2010-05 Miss. Bankr. Ct. Standing Order Requiring Certificate of Service

A party must include a Certificate of Service ("Certificate") as an attachment to the pleading/document when a party provides notice of the filing. Click here for an example of a Certificate filed with the pleading/document.

However, when a party fails to attach a Certificate or amends a Certificate, the filer must file the Certificate using the below event.

Docket Events:

[Bankruptcy > Other > Certificate of Service]

[Bankruptcy > Claim Actions > Certificate of Service]

[Adversary > Other > Certificate of Service]

Because the Certificate is being filed separate from the pleading, the Certificate must provide:

a case caption, including the adversary proceeding information if applicable;
method of service; and
identity of all the parties served;(see example below).
