19Step 5: File proof of service
Every document submitted to the Clerk of the Appellate Courts for filing must be accompanied by
a form stating that the document was served on the other parties to the appeal. This is called “proof
of service.”
General Instructions for “Proof of Service”
If you use E-MACS to electronically serve papers on the other parties or attorneys to the
appeal, no separate proof of service is required, because the Clerk of the Appellate Courts
will receive information about service along with the e-filing. If you serve papers in person,
by postal mail, or by another delivery method (with the consent of the recipient), separate
proof of service is required.
Usually, proof of service is (1) a notarized Affidavit of Service or (2) a Certificate of Service.
The difference between an Affidavit of Service and a Certificate of Service is that a
Certificate of Service does not need to be signed in front of a notary.
You may file one Affidavit of Service or Certificate of Service listing multiple documents,
but only if you serve those documents on the same date and on the same parties.
For additional instructions on proof of service, see
Minn. R. Civ. App. P.
125.04.
This packet includes a Certificate of Service By Mail for each of the documents you need to
file to start an appeal. The Certificate of Service By Mail must include, from top to bottom:
• The parties’ names and case file number;
• County where the form was signed;
• The name of the person who served the documents;
• The titles of the documents that were served (on the forms included with this packet,

• The date the documents were served;
• The names of the parties who were served and the addresses to which the documents
were mailed to those parties;
• The signature of the person who served the documents, the date the form was signed,
and the county and state where the form was signed.
☐
The person who served the documents must complete and sign the form titled Relator’s
Certificate of Service by Mail of the Petition, Unsigned Writ, Statement of the Case, and
Unemployment Law Judge’s Decision.
Note: You will need the different Certificate of Service forms at different steps in the
process. Do not fill out or file all of the Certificates of Service at the same time.

File the Relator’s Certificate of Service by Mail of the Petition, Unsigned Writ, Statement of
the Case, and Unemployment Law Judge’s Decision (see Step 3 above for instructions on
