In civil suit for debt owed, the plaintiff only needs to demonstrate to the court that they have made a reasonable attempt to serve notice on the defendant debtor. If the debtor cannot be found the lawsuit will still go forward without the participation of the named defendant.
However, in most U.S. states the defendant must be duly served according to the laws of the state in which he or she resides with a final judgment notice before a judgment writ can be executed. The service of said writ upon the debtor can be by a designated agent of the plaintiff and/or certified mail and/or courier (UPS, FedEx, etc.). The defendant is given a specific time to respond to the judgment order citing allowable personal and real property exemptions that are exempt from seizure, garnishment, levy, and so forth.
