you can hire a process server to do it, i'm not sure what the cost of that is like or if there's another way to do it. you need to make sure you get someone who is going to follow the laws of both states, so someone with a lot of experience doing out of state service.

it says request the form from the clerk or justice of the peace so that sounds like you go to the courthouse and fill it out there. probably only the signing needs to happen in front of them.
depending on where you live the sheriff can serve the papers, there's a fee but you get it back if you win.
