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: PARAGUAY is a not a signer of the Hague Service Convention, treaty that governs service of process to be effected between participating nations. The formal method for service is Letters Rogatory. Advantage: Enforceable judgment. 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 Latin American countries.
Service sometimes may take several months but informal service
occasionally can sometimes be 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.
Disadvantage: Judgment may not be enforceable in Uruguay. 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. The Inter-American Letters Rogatory Convention on Service governs this method of service. This method is used for the taking of depositions in Paraguay. This method is time consuming, cumbersome, and should be used only when other options are not available. Habitual time delays of up to 9 months in the execution of requests can be expected. Fees for this method of service are generally 100-500% higher than other methods. Disadvantage:
Serious time delays and costs. TRANSLATIONS:
Paraguay requires the documents to be translated into the official
language of Spanish if the formal method is used. COSTS: Service of process: Informal = $ 975.00 Letters Rogatory = $1975.00
All
fees 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). 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. |
