North Dakota Century Code Title 32. Judicial Remedies § 32-09.1-08. Service

1. The garnishee summons and notice to defendant shall be served upon the garnishee in the same manner as other summons in that court of record except that service must be personal.

2. Service of a garnishee summons and disclosure statement upon a bank or credit union must be made by delivery of the summons and disclosure statement to a specifically named president or vice president of the bank or credit union or to the registered agent for service of process of the bank or credit union. Delivery of the summons and disclosure statement to the specifically named individual may be in hand as established by the sworn affidavit of the individual who delivered the summons and disclosure statement or by any form of mail or third-party commercial delivery service, if delivery is restricted to the named individual or registered agent and the sender receives a receipt signed by that individual or registered agent.

3. A plaintiff shall serve with the garnishee summons a disclosure form, substantially as set out in this chapter. The plaintiff may also serve interrogatories with the garnishee summons. A copy of the garnishee summons and copies of all other papers served on the garnishee must be served personally upon the defendant in accordance with the North Dakota Rules of Civil Procedure for personal service or served by first-class mail not later than ten days after service is made upon the garnishee. A single garnishee summons may be addressed to two or more garnishees but must state whether each is summoned separately or jointly.
