International process service
International service of process is the formal delivery of U.S. court documents to a defendant or witness in another country, using a method that country's law accepts. Get the method wrong, and service can be quashed, or the judgment refused enforcement abroad.
Our home office is located in California, but we have a worldwide network of process servers with offices in 7 countries. We know which method each country allows. Before we start, we confirm the method, the timeline, and a fixed fee in writing.
No matter where you need a process server, we will get the job done for you.

How to Get Started
Send Us Your Documents. We'll Coordinate the Service.
Send Your Documents
Email your service documents as a single PDF file to julie@processnet1.com. If sending physical documents, the number of copies required depends on whether the assignment is domestic or international.
Provide Your Instructions
Include the defendant's name, service address, and requested method of service. For international assignments, let us know the destination country and any relevant deadline.
Arrange Payment
Service fees are payable in U.S. dollars. Out-of-state assignments must be paid in advance unless an account has already been established. Translation costs, if required, are billed separately.
We'll Coordinate the Assignment
Our team will work to arrange service according to your instructions, the defendant's availability, and the requirements of the relevant jurisdiction.
