Yes. You must serve the defendant in California unless:

* You're suing about property located in California, and the owner doesn't live in California, or
* You had a car accident in California, and the owner or driver of the other car doesn't live in California.

I sued an airline in Small Claims Court in California 2 years ago. They didn't (and don't) have a registered agent in California, so I served them in Florida, no problems.
