Document We Serve

Letters Rogatory

Letters rogatory are formal requests from a court to a foreign judiciary, used when a country either isn't a party to the Hague Service Convention or when a matter requires that heightened level of judicial cooperation. We coordinate the diplomatic routing this process requires from start to finish.

Letters rogatory are formal requests sent from a U.S. court to a foreign judiciary, asking that court to arrange service or take other judicial action on the requesting court's behalf. They're typically used when the destination country hasn't joined the Hague Service Convention, or when a matter specifically calls for direct judicial cooperation rather than an administrative process.

Because letters rogatory route through multiple government offices — often including the U.S. State Department and the foreign country's own ministry of justice — we manage the paperwork, translation coordination, and follow-up needed to keep a request moving, and we track it through to a returned confirmation of service.
