Document We Serve
For countries that are contracting parties to the Hague Service Convention, documents can be transmitted through each country's designated Central Authority — a more standardized route than diplomatic channels. We prepare and route these requests to keep your case on schedule.
For the countries that are contracting parties to the 1965 Hague Service Convention, documents can be transmitted through each country's designated Central Authority rather than through slower diplomatic channels. It's a more standardized process, but each Central Authority still sets its own requirements around translation, fees, and documentation.
We prepare and submit Hague requests to the correct Central Authority, coordinate any required certified translations, and track the request through to the official certificate of service that confirms the outcome — the document most courts expect to see before proceeding with a case involving a foreign defendant.
Whatever the document, our team has the experience to execute your specific request and route it through the right channel the first time.
Decades of working relationships with Central Authorities and local agents mean your documents move through the correct process, wherever they're headed.
Since 1982, we've built a track record litigators rely on — documented, court-ready service performed to FRCP 4(f) standards.

Tell us about your case and deadline, and we'll confirm the right approach.
Request ServiceNo — each Central Authority sets its own requirements around translation, fees, and documentation, and we tailor each request accordingly.
In that case, service typically proceeds through diplomatic channels or letters rogatory instead.

Client Feedback
"We had a defendant bouncing between three overseas offices and a court deadline breathing down our necks. Their team tracked him down and got it done. When opposing counsel tried to quash service, our affidavit held up without a hitch."
Cross-Border Commercial Litigation Partner
"Honestly wasn't expecting a Hague request to move this smoothly. They handled the translations, kept us posted along the way, and the certificate came back right around when they said it would."
International Arbitration Practice Group
"Letters Rogatory for a country most process servers won't even touch. They told us upfront what to expect timeline-wise, handled the State Department paperwork, and it actually came through."
Global Asset Recovery & Judgment Enforcement
"Turned out the registered agent on file was outdated, which we hadn't caught. They flagged it before attempting service, which saved us from a wasted attempt right before our deadline."
Registered Agent & Entity Service
"Custody cases are never easy, and this one was especially tense. Their server was calm and low-key about the whole thing, which honestly mattered a lot to my client."
Domestic Relations Practice
"Three failed attempts at an address that turned out to be over a year old. Their skip trace found where he actually worked within a few days — cut it close on the statute but we made it."
