Cross-Border Jurisdictional Protocol
Grenada is not a party to the Hague Service Convention. As a Commonwealth common-law jurisdiction, Grenada's civil procedure rules permit service by mail, personal service by a process server, or through local counsel, broadly familiar to U.S. and U.K. practitioners, subject to Grenada's own court rules and the requesting court's non-Hague service requirements.
We engage a licensed Grenadian process server for personal service, consistent with Grenada's Commonwealth common-law civil procedure rules.
Request local process server service →Where appropriate under the requesting court's own rules, we can arrange registered mail service with return receipt requested.
Discuss mail service options →For matters requiring a more formal, treaty-independent channel, we prepare Letters Rogatory routed through diplomatic channels to Grenadian judicial authorities.
