What status does a certified private process server hold when they voluntarily cease practice for a designated period?

A certified private process server who voluntarily ceases practice for a designated period is classified as "Inactive." This status indicates that the individual is not currently engaged in the activities of serving legal documents but may retain the certification and the ability to return to active status after a specified time or under specific conditions. Being inactive typically involves a prescribed process that allows the individual to maintain their credentials while stepping back from their professional responsibilities without facing penalties associated with suspension or revocation. In contrast, statuses like suspended or revoked imply a more serious issue regarding the individual's compliance with necessary regulations or conduct, which does not apply in the case of voluntary cessation.
