Service We Provide
Lawyers and courts outside the United States regularly need documents served on people and companies here. The U.S. does not object to service by private agents under the Hague Convention, so we can serve incoming foreign documents directly — usually far faster than routing them through the U.S. Central Authority.
Foreign courts and law firms often need a party in the United States served with their documents. The U.S. Central Authority can handle these requests, but because the U.S. does not object to service by private agents under the Hague Convention, direct service by a process server is usually much faster.
We serve individuals and U.S. companies anywhere in the country, including through corporate registered agents, and return proof of service in the form the foreign court expects — notarized and apostilled when it will be used abroad.
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.

Request ServiceNo. The Central Authority route is available, but the U.S. permits service by a private agent, which is typically much quicker. We confirm the method satisfies the rules of the court where your case is pending.
Yes. We can prepare a sworn affidavit, have it notarized and apostilled, and follow the wording or format your court or the Hague certificate requires.

Client Feedback
"When you're dealing with international service under the Hague Convention, delays and strict compliance issues are always a concern. They managed our service in France seamlessly—completed in less than four weeks, with a flawless proof of service that the judge accepted immediately. They are our go-to for foreign service."
Litigation Paralegal | France
"We were dealing with a defendant actively hiding behind gated security, tinted windows, and erratic schedules. Their investigators ran discreet surveillance, identified a consistent departure pattern, and completed drop service strictly within statutory compliance. The court denied the defendant’s motion to quash immediately"
Partner
"Managing high-volume discovery across multiple health networks and custodians is normally a logistical nightmare. They served our deposition subpoenas, tracked every custodian deadline, and delivered organized, certified records well before our discovery deadline. Impeccable communication throughout."
