Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between Hague Service and Letters Rogatory?

The Hague Service Convention applies between contracting signatory countries and provides a standardized administrative route via designated Foreign Central Authorities. Letters Rogatory are formal requests from a trial judge to a foreign judiciary, utilized when dealing with non-Hague countries or when formal judicial compulsion is legally required.

Can I use private process servers outside the United States?

It depends strictly on the laws of the target country and Article 10(b)/(c) reservations if the country is a Hague signatory. In jurisdictions that do not prohibit private agent service, private service can often be completed more quickly, providing a compliant return under FRCP 4(f)(2)(C) or applicable state court rules.

Is translation required for international process service?

Most foreign Central Authorities and sovereign ministries require that pleadings be translated into their official national language. Serving English documents into non-English speaking jurisdictions without mandatory certified translations can void service and bar domestic judgment enforcement abroad.

What proof of service is provided upon completion?

For Hague requests, you receive an official Certificate of Service under Article 6 executed by the foreign Central Authority. For private informal deliveries, we furnish a sworn affidavit executed before an authorized notary public or Commissioner for Oaths, formatted specifically for admissibility before U.S. Federal and State tribunals.
