DUE DILIGENT SEARCH AFFIDAVIT

Before commencing service by publication, the plaintiff, his agent or attorney must file a sworn statement of diligent search. There are four types of diligent search affidavits, one for each of the following types of defendants:
1. Natural Persons
2. Corporations
3. Unknown Parties
4. Parties Doing Business Under a Corporate Name Keep in mind the following: The examiner must carefully compare any diligent search affidavit. Any omission or material inaccuracies could make the service invalid. The word "address" is not synonymous with the word "residence". Where the Due Diligence Affidavit makes a statement as to the "residence" of the defendant, service is defective if the word "address" is substituted. Callaghan v.
