Process
Service Network is one of a few firms that specializes in
international service of process and offers competitive rates on foreign
services. Here is a summary of the
methods available for service outside the United States and a specific proposal
for the requested nation.
Our job is to cut through the bureaucracy and red tape to get the service
completed with as little delay as possible.
Since we have been in business for 28 years, we have developed close
working relationships with key individuals in most countries throughout the
world. The founder and President of
Process
Service Network was a Political Science major in
college with a focus on international relations and is actively involved in a
worldwide organization through which he has developed business and personal
relationships in over 80 nations worldwide. FORMAL
SERVICE:
Many
countries are signatories to The Hague Service Convention (treaty) that
governs service of process to be effected between participating nations.
Service may be made by formal service through the Central Authority which
itself arranges for service by methods prescribed in that country.
Documents to be served in accordance with this method must
be translated into the official language of the country where the documents will
be served. The time frame can range
from 2 to 5 months. This is
the recommended method if attachment of assets abroad is anticipated. Advantage: Enforceable judgment and cost. INFORMAL
SERVICE:
Private process servers may serve documents in most countries, whether a
signer of The Hague Convention, or not.
Service is normally handled in a manner similar to methods used in the
United States, although completion of the service usually takes longer. Customs
and traditions in other countries tend to lead to a slower pace and less rigid
work habits, particularly in Caribbean countries.
Service sometimes may take several months but informal service is
sometimes faster than the formal method. This
method is NOT recommended in ANGUILLA. Disadvantage:
Judgment may not be enforceable in the country where assets are located. LETTERS
ROGATORY:
Letters Rogatory is a request from a court in the United States to
a court in a foreign country requesting international judicial assistance
related to service of process. This method is time consuming, cumbersome, and should
be used only when other options are not available.
The use of this method is not recommended by the U.S. State Department
given the habitual time delays of up to 2 years in the execution of requests.
Fees for this method of service are generally 100-500% higher than other
methods. Use only for taking
deposition. Advantage:
In effect, creates a case in the country where the documents are served
and makes judgment enforceable.
Disadvantage: Serious
time delays and costs. TRANSLATIONS:
None are required for this English speaking nation. COSTS: Service of process: Formal = $ 485.00
Informal =
$ 925.00
Letters Rogatory =
$1975.00
