last known address

last known address
The place to which the mail is to be directed for service of process by mail where actual personal service cannot be obtained. 42 Am J1st Proc § 60. As used in a statute authorizing the service of summons on a non-resident defendant by mailing a copy of the summons and complaint to his last known address, the term means not his last address known to the plaintiff, but the plaintiff is required to ascertain at his peril, the last known address of the defendant as a matter of fact, and his failure to do so will amount to a failure to comply with the statute and render the service invalid. State v Belden, 193 Wis 145, 211 NW 916, 214 NW 460, 57 ALR 1218.
