Navigating legal documents can sometimes feel like decoding a foreign language, especially for those without a background in law. Among these documents, the RF-112 form plays a crucial role within the Arizona Department of Real Estate's framework, catering to a very specific situation. This form, titled "Proof of Service - Publication," invokes the provisions of A.R.S. § 32-2188.01(B), designed for instances where traditional methods of serving a judgment debtor have proven ineffective. In essence, the form is employed by an applicant—a United States citizen over the age of 18, and competent to testify—who finds themselves unable to locate a judgment debtor for the purpose of serving them. The document lays out a structured approach: it firstly confirms that the judgment debtor does not hold a current license issued by the Department of Real Estate, and then details the applicant's diligent but unsuccessful attempts to serve them personally, utilizing a licensed process server. Following these unsuccessful attempts, the applicant resorts to serving the judgment debtor by publishing notices in a newspaper of general circulation in the county where the debtor was last known to reside, thus making a significant leap from personal to public notification methods. Coupled with certifications by the applicant attesting to the truthfulness of the provided information, and detailed instructions on completing and submitting the document, the RF-112 form stands as a pivotal step for those seeking recourse through the Real Estate Recovery Fund under specific circumstances.
