Except when personal or residential service is requested pursuant to K.S.A. 60-303(c), attorneys shall prepare the envelope, including addressee and address, and provide the cost of postage, including the cost of the return receipt, to the sheriff if the attorney desires the sheriff to effect service by certified mail pursuant to K.S.A. 60-303(b). The court prefers that where service is by certified mail that the service be effected by the attorney rather than requesting that the sheriff effect service. If service is effected by the attorney pursuant to K.S.A. 60-303(b), the attorney shall file the receipt for certified mail (Postal Service Form 3800) within five (5) days of the date the attorney receives delivery of the return receipt from the postal service. The clerks of the court shall not complete or prepare any of the forms used in connection with effecting service by certified mail.
