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. We are pleased to announce that we have recently opened our London office to provide prompt and efficient service throughout the United Kingdom. FORMAL
SERVICE:
Many
countries are signatories to the Hague Service Convention (treaty) that
governs service of process to be effected between participating nations.
Service of initial pleadings may be made by formal service through the
Central Authority which itself arranges for service by methods prescribed in
that country. If you anticipate
attaching assets in Great Britain, you might consider utilizing the provisions
of the Hague Service Convention. The time frame can range from 3 to 6 months,
but we offer "expedited service"
that allows you to avoid: Papers
being lost in the system for months on end Papers
coming back un-served after 2-3 months or more because of “insufficient address” even when it is certain that the defendant is
there Progress
reports being impossible to obtain Deadlines
being missed Typical turnaround time for expedited: 1 month (occasionally faster) 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.
Service in England is very efficient and similar to the time frames
within the United States. Our
office in London coordinates all services in Great Britain and is extremely
thorough and efficient. Since we pay our process servers a bonus (at our own
expense) for prompt service, the normal delays are usually reduced.
Typical turnaround as fast as 2 weeks. 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. The use of this method is not recommended by the U.S. State Department given the habitual time delays of up to 8 months in the execution of requests. Fees for this method of service are generally higher than other methods. Note: Use only for taking depositions. COSTS: Service of process: Formal = $ 865.00 (includes court fees) Expedited Formal = $1675.00 Informal = $ 975.00 (fastest method) - rate is high due to exchange rate of Pound
Letters Rogatory =
$1975.00
All
fess are per defendant/address Translation: Not required NOTE:
WE PROVIDE formal declarations on the status of service upon request, as
required by your court, at no additional charge.
Estimated
time for completion of service is subject to change depending on current
conditions. WARNING: Beware
of companies that quote suspiciously low rates.
They often come back later with an excuse for an additional charge.
Our rates are firm for one address quoted.
Other companies are actually brokerage firms or website developers, not
process service agencies, who farm out assignments to secondary companies that
are not knowledgeable or qualified on international service of process. 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. |
