What must a return of service formally indicate about the process delivered to a corporation?

The return of service must formally indicate the title of the person receiving the process because this helps to establish that the document was delivered to an appropriate representative of the corporation. In legal terms, it is essential to show that the paperwork reached someone who has the authority to act on behalf of the corporation. This could be a director, an officer, or another designated individual. Including the title provides clarity regarding the chain of accountability and ensures that the corporation is duly notified of the legal action against it.

While knowing the identity of the person receiving the process or the contact information of the registered agent is important in other contexts, the title specifically clarifies the level of authority of the individual who accepted the documents. This distinction can have implications in the legal proceedings that follow if there are disputes about proper service.
