Believe me! You'll know it when you see one. However, they all appear slightly different, not only from state-to-state but from court system to court system, so there is no way to give you a specific description.
Civil summonses are basically the same whether they are issued by a state or federal court. At the very top of the summons will be the name of the issuing court. Such as, District Court Of The United States_____Judicial District or Supreme Court of the State of______County of_____ or Circuit Court for the County of______State of_____ and so on. It will contain the docket and case number, the names of the plaintiff(s) and defendants(s), the date for appearance, the purpose of the summons, the complaint, etc. At the bottom of the summons it will have the signature of the court clerk and sometimes deputy clerk and the official embossed seal of the court.
Summonses for jury duty or those issued by an agency such as the IRS are somewhat different, but they all are on official letterheads with all the pertinent information and they all will have official embossed seals of the court and/or government agency.

I would like to know what are correct ways to go about the process of having someone served papers or being served court papers.?
The court issues a summons or process and a sheriff or summons server delivers it to the individual. Papers are served as a result of an action filed with the court, then the court notifies those involved that they must appear.

Can a summons be served over the phone?
Like most legal questions this may vary from state to state and maybe depends on the type of summons you receive. In general you must receive a summons personally or by certified or registered mail for it to be valid in court. For example, if you get a traffic or parking ticket, the officer physically hands it to you on that there is an appearance date. You can receive a summons to appear from a duly sworn officer of a court, a process server or even from a regular person. What happens is on the date of the summons if you do not appear the judge will ask the "complaintant" or "complaining witness" if there is "Proof of Service". The return receipt of certified mail, signiture of the person receiving the summons or again the person who served the summons swearing that the summons was served. In absence of that proof a judge cannot order a bench warrant for contempt or failing to appear and in civil matters he cannot enter a judgment in your absence because you were not duly served and given opportunity to appear. A telephone call or even a faxed or emailed summons will not cover the burden of "proof of service" and if someone does it this way and then swears proof of service and either a judgment is entered or a warrant issued you can request to have it set aside because you were never served. This happened to me once when I was representing myself in family court to request an emergency custody hearing for Christmas visitation and I had the summons which I created as well as the proof of service document for the court and I handed her the summons in the waiting area of the courthouse. She claimed that it was an illegal service and asked a sheriffs officer if I could subpeona her like that and he said of course. I filled out the proof of service and had the officer witness it. It was an unnecesary step but when she didnt show for the hearing it served as proof and she ended up losing by default. Anyway, I would check in your state and see what the law is and as technology improves who knows, one day your computer might suddenly have a message saying "You have been served".
