Service Up-date Bahrain
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:
BAHRAIN
is not a signer of the Hague Service Convention. There is currently no
formal method of service since BAHRAIN does not honor Letters Rogatory.
It should be noted that Bahrain is a monarchy with close government
regulation of all activities within the nation. INFORMAL
SERVICE:
Private process servers may serve documents in most countries, whether a
signer of The Hague Service 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 the Arab nations.
Service sometimes may take several months but informal service is
generally much faster than formal methods.
Most process servers who we employ are off-duty other government
officials who are able to, in certain cases, exercise their official capacity to
complete the service. Since we pay the process server a bonus (at our own
expense) for prompt service, the normal delays are usually reduced.
It must be advised, however, that corruption is sometimes evident in that
country and that it is common for the process server to contrive an excuse for
delays and/or additional costs. We
will cover any additional costs but delays may be unavoidable. Further,
service in BAHRAIN has been complicated in the recent period due to tensions in
the Arab world. We do all that is
possible to insure a timely completion of the service. Advantage:
Time and cost. Disadvantage
Judgment may not be enforceable in the country where assets are located. TRANSLATIONS:
Some countries require the documents to be translated into the official
language of the nation where they are to be served.
The U.S. State Department recommends translation, but it is not a
requirement unless the formal method is used.
It is possible, although rare, that a demurer could be filed based upon
lack of understanding by the defendant as to the nature and meaning of
un-translated documents. It is important that the Defendant understand the nature of
the documents. COSTS: Service of process: Informal = $1125.00
All
fess are per defendant/address Translation:
$0.38 per word (proper
nouns not translated) DISCLAIMER:
The information
contained herein is provided for general information only and may not be
accurate at the time of service in a particular case or country. Questions involving specific services should be directed to
our office. Care should be
exercised in choosing the method of service (formal/informal) if eventual
enforcement of a U.S. judgment is anticipated in the country where the documents
are to be served. No legal advice
is intended in the statements contained herein.
Assignments for international service of process are accepted on the
basis that the assigning law firm has researched all applicable laws.
Process Service Network
and its agents assume no liability for its actions in the course of any phase of
the service of process assignment. |
