Apr 14, 2022 at 14:07 comment added David Siegel @RetiredATC Yes it is, and it will continue to be until and unless the courts (or the legislature) formally abolish it in any given jurisdiction. See my edited answer for details and a cite to the rule in Michigan. Other US states have similar rules.

service by publication, cite rule
Apr 14, 2022 at 3:17 comment added RetiredATC Maybe a stupid question, but with newspaper readership way down over the past couple of decades, and some newspapers going completely out of business, is service by a newspaper still really a thing?

fix typos; response to comment
Apr 14, 2022 at 1:34 comment added David Siegel @Barry Chapman If a process server is given an address by the client (plaintiff), s/he may well go there first, and only do research later. One need not worry about it until the papers get to you, but it might be wise to read the legal ads in any nearby large newspapers for a few weeks. in case of service by publication. The paper should give the name of a court, and perhaps the name of a judge. You can call the clerk of the court and find out if the papers are legit. There may well be a docket no or case no or some other identifying umber, as well. This will help in verification.
