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; DENMARK
is one of them. 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 3 months (recent service took 1 1/2
months). The cost is generally
lower than other methods. THIS IS
THE RECOMMENDED METHOD FOR SERVICE IN DENMARK IF ATTACHMENT OF ASSETS IS
ANTICIPATED. Advantage:
Enforceable judgment; 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 European countries.
Service may take several months but informal service is sometimes faster
than the formal method. Many
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.
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 used for taking of Depositions and is
time consuming, cumbersome, and should be used only when other options are not
available. The use of this method
is recommended by the U.S. State Department when the taking of depositions is
required, only. Fees for this method of service are generally 100-300% higher
than other methods. This method is
used only if taking the deposition of a witness. TRANSLATIONS:
DENMARK requires that the documents to be translated into DANISH if the
formal methods are used. We offer
translation services at rates quoted below. COSTS: Service of process: Formal = $485.00 (Recommended method)
Informal = $925.00
Letters Rogatory = $2175.00
All
fess are per defendant/address
Translation:
$0.38 per word (proper nouns not translated) declarations:
We
provide any necessary formal Declarations, under penalty of perjury, that the
Court may require as to the progress and status of the service (at no
additional cost). 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. |
