International
Service Up-date Dubai (United Arab Emirates)
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 29 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:
United
Arab Emirates
is not a signer of The Hague Service Convention. There is currently no
formal method of service since United Arab Emirates does not honor Letters
Rogatory. 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 2 to 15 months.
The cost is generally 80-150% higher than other methods. 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 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. 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 United Arab Emirates 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 = $1325.00 All fees are per defendant/address
Translation:
$0.38 per word (proper
nouns not translated) declarations: DISCLAIMER: |
