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:
Cambodia
is not a signer of The Hague Service Convention. However, for information
only, 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 4 to 15 months.
The cost is generally 80-150% higher than other methods.
See Letters Rogatory for information on formal service in this
country. Advantage:
Enforceable judgment. Disadvantage:
Time delay and cost. 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 some Asian nations.
Service sometimes may take several months but informal service is
generally much faster than the formal method.
Most process servers who we employ are off-duty police officers or 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. Recent turnaround was 3
months. Advantage:
Time and cost. 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.
It should be used if this is the only defendant and if attachment
of assets will be necessary only in that country. 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
for taking depositions. 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:
Required if using a formal method. COSTS: Service of process: Informal = $ 925.00
Letters Rogatory = $ 1975.00
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. |
