The document specifies acceptance by the U.S. Attorney’s Office via U.S. registered or certified mail or through hand-delivery, and provides address details for the Civil Process Clerk and a separate hand-delivery location. It clarifies that service is perfected only upon actual receipt and notes visitor security screening. It also states limits on serving the Attorney General or federal entities and that waiver of formal service does not apply.","Service of Process  \nRule 4(i) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure sets forth the requirements for service of process on the United States, its agencies and corporations, or its officers and employees. The U.S. Attorney’s Office accepts service of process either through U.S. registered or certified mail or by hand-delivery.  \nU.S. Registered or Certified Mail  \nService of process on the U.S. Attorney’s Office may be made by U.S. registered or certified mail at the following address:  \nCivil Process Clerk  \nU.S. Attorney’s Office for the Middle District of Louisiana  \n777 Florida Street  \nBaton Rouge, Louisiana 70801  \nFor security and safety purposes, all mail directed to the U.S. Attorney’s Office is routed through the Russell B. Long Federal Building and United States Courthouse in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Hand-delivery is not accepted at this address and will not constitute proper service of process on the U.S. Attorney’s Office.  \nService is not deemed perfected until actual receipt by the Civil Process Clerk at the U.S. Attorney’s Office.  \nHand-Delivery  \nService of process may be made by hand-delivery during business hours to the following address:  \n451 Florida Street, Third Floor  \nBaton Rouge, Louisiana 70801  \nThe U.S. Attorney’s Office is unable to accept mail addressed to this location, which will be returned to the sender. Sending service of process to the U.S. Attorney’s Office at this address by U.S. registered or certified mail will not constitute proper service of process on the U.S. Attorney’s Office.  \nPlease note that all visitors to the U.S. Attorney’s Office are required to undergo a security screening.  \nService on the U.S. Attorney General, Federal Agencies or Corporations, or Federal Officers or Employees  \nThe U.S. Attorney’s Office is not authorized to accept service on behalf of the U.S. Attorney General or other federal agencies, corporations, officers, or employees. Therefore, if an  \napplicable rule requires any such persons or entities to be served, they must be served separately and in addition to service on the U.S. Attorney’s Office.  \nWaiver of Service of Process  \nRule 4(d) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, regarding the waiver of service of process, is inapplicable to the United States and its agencies, corporations, officers, and employees.
