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:
Austria
is not a signer of the Hague Service Convention. Many countries are
signatories to The Hague Service Convention (treaty) that governs service
of process to be effected between participating nations. The formal method in
Austria is LETTERS ROGATORY,
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.
Letters Rogatory service must be used in Austria because they strictly
prohibit, by law, any attempt at service of process by any other method.
The Austrian government considers all other methods of service, including
attempts at service by mail or private process server, illegal and an affront to
Austria's judicial sovereignty leaving all participants subject to arrest and
civil prosecution.
This is the only available method for service in Austria.
Advantage: In effect,
creates a case in the country where the documents are served and makes judgment enforceable. Disadvantage:
Time delay. INFORMAL
SERVICE:
This
method is prohibited, by law, in Austria. TRANSLATIONS:
Austria requires the documents to be translated into the official
language, German. COSTS: Service of process: Letters Rogatory = $1975.00 All fess are per defendant/address Translation:
