629. The service of any document issued by the Municipal Court or by the municipal judge shall be made by delivering a copy or duplicate thereof to the defendant or accused personally, or at his domicile to a reasonable person of his family, or at his place of business to any of his employees in charge thereof.
If such service cannot be so made, the municipal judge may order, upon a report to that effect from the officer entrusted with the same, that it be made in some other manner at his discretion.
However, in the case of a document issued by the court or judge following an infringement of a municipal by-law or of the Highway Safety Code (chapter C-24.2), such service may validly be made when sent by registered or certified mail to the address given by the accused when the infringement was committed or to the address which he has given to the Société de l’assurance automobile du Québec.
