Litigations can be costly, not just in terms of money, but effort and time as well. What more when it requires an international service of process? At Process Service Network, we make everything a breeze to those who are in need of documents and testimonies from abroad. We have effectuated process services with many countries worldwide, especially those covered by the Hague Convention. We have excellent strategies in place, including assistance in getting court signatures, as well as gathering supporting information and documentation.
Introduction to the International Service of Process
A court may require international service of process, and when this happens, things can go from simple to complicated that quickly. It is never easy dealing with diplomatic channels, designated authorities, and consulates. If you are beating a deadline, it will take months to see the process effectuated when you do it on your own. With the Hague Convention introduced in 1965, obtaining documents from one country to another (as long as they are part of the treaty) takes about two to four months.

The United States Federal Rules of Civil Procedure enumerates the acceptable processes, methods, and means to serve foreign individuals. It is important to take note that the process service must be rendered in such a way that the defendant is given notice within a reasonable amount of time. As international service of process is in place, it is expected that the service must be compliant with the foreign country’s direction and completed without prejudice to the foreign country’s process laws. At Process Service Network, we make it a point that we comply with these rules accordingly.
