Service Outside the US

Servico can assist you with your Service of Process needs OUTSIDE the US.

We stay informed of procedures and have developed a network of professionals around the world. Together with them we are able to complete proper notice and service on foreign defendants in any action.

The Hague Convention was developed to provide a timely, uniform manner of providing notice/service on foreign defendants.

If we are retained to effect service on your behalf using this method, we will:

  • prepare all necessary treaty documents and have service properly effected, either through the appropriate central authority or our appointed agent (as in expedited service where available).
  • provide, at no extra cost, an affidavit detailing the work in progress which can support a motion to extend, if necessary.

PLEASE CALL US FOR INFORMATION REGARDING THE COST AND TIMING OF THIS SERVICE.

What needs to be taken into consideration at all times is that if you ever intend to attempt enforcement of a judgment in the foreign country, the judgment must be obtained based upon a method of service considered valid in the courts of the foreign country. Use of the Hague Service Convention removes this potential complication because it is recognized as valid service in the courts of all signatory countries (which includes ALL U.S. courts).
