Registered Agent for Service of Process to Judicial Officers
Under Wisconsin Act 235, certain judicial officers may designate the Director of State Courts Office as their registered agent for service of process. This designation allows legal documents to be served through the Director of State Courts Office instead of at the judge’s home or other personal addresses.
If you are involved in litigation against a judge or need to serve legal documents on a judge, please be aware that some judicial officers may have elected to use this process. For more information on whether a judge is participating in this program or for instructions on serving legal documents through the Director of State Courts Office, please contact:
