Cross-Border Jurisdictional Protocol
Armenia is a Hague Service Convention signatory, and both Armenia and the United States are parties, so requests flow through Armenia's designated Central Authority in Yerevan rather than diplomatic channels or ad hoc arrangements. As with all signatories, the Convention applies only to civil and commercial matters and does not extend to criminal proceedings. Documents are generally translated into Armenian for formal service.
We prepare and submit the Hague request to Armenia's Central Authority in Yerevan for execution through the Armenian court system.
