Who we are

A process-serving office that knows the rules abroad.

“Service that doesn’t follow the local rules can be thrown out. Getting it right the first time is the whole job.”

Global Process Server was founded in 1982 to do one thing well: deliver legal documents to the people and businesses named in a case, in a way that stands up in court.

In the United States that means following each state’s rules on who may serve, how and when. Abroad it means choosing the right route for the country, whether that is the Hague Service Convention, the Inter-American Convention, letters rogatory through diplomatic channels, or a local private agent where the law allows it.

Our docket team manages every request from start to finish, working with local process servers, court officers, translators and foreign Central Authorities. You deal with one team, and you receive one clear proof of service at the end.

We are not a law firm and we do not give legal advice. We work alongside your attorneys, so they can focus on the case while we handle the delivery.

Who we work with

Built for the people who answer to a court deadline

Most of our clients are legal professionals, but anyone who needs papers served correctly can use us.

Law firms

Litigation teams who need summonses, complaints and subpoenas served in another state or country, with returns ready to file.

Corporate legal departments

In-house counsel handling disputes with suppliers, partners or former employees overseas, who want one dependable vendor for every jurisdiction.

Courts and agencies

Government offices and public bodies that must give formal notice to parties living abroad.

Individuals

People representing themselves in a divorce, custody or small-claims case, who need the other side served properly and a clear explanation of each step.

How it works

What happens after you send us a request

Every request follows the same four steps, whether the address is across town or across the world.

  1. We review your papers

    We check the documents, the address and your deadline, and tell you whether anything is missing, such as a translation or extra copies.

    Missing items flagged up front

  2. We choose the route

    We recommend the method that fits the country or state and your court’s rules, and confirm the cost and expected timing before we start.

    Quote and timing confirmed first

  3. The papers are served

    A local server, court officer or Central Authority delivers the documents. We track each attempt and keep you updated along the way.

    Status updates at every stage

  4. You receive proof

    You get a sworn affidavit of service or, for Hague requests, the official Article 6 certificate, ready to file with your court.

How we work

The standards behind every service

Proof that holds up

A service is only useful if the court accepts it. We follow the rules of the place where the papers are delivered and prepare every proof of service to withstand a challenge.

Honest timelines

Foreign authorities work at their own pace. We tell you realistic timeframes up front, and suggest a faster route when the law allows one.

One point of contact

One docket team manages your matter from intake to proof, even when it involves servers, translators and officials in several countries.

Discretion

Case details and documents are shared only with the people who need them to complete the service, and stored securely.

Three ways papers are served abroad

Hague Service Convention

For member countries, we prepare the request, translations and forms, and send them to the country’s Central Authority.

Letters rogatory

For countries outside the treaties, we handle the court-to-court request through diplomatic channels.

Private in-country service

Where local law allows it, a licensed local agent serves the papers directly, often much faster.
Questions about us

Before you send your first request

Are you a law firm?

No. We are a process-serving and litigation-support company. We do not give legal advice, but we work closely with your attorney and can explain how each service route works.

Can you serve papers in a country that isn’t part of the Hague Convention?

Yes. Depending on the country, we use the Inter-American Convention, letters rogatory through diplomatic channels, or a local private agent where local law allows it. We will explain the options and timing for your country before you commit.

Do my documents need to be translated?

Many countries require a translation into their official language, especially for Hague requests. We tell you whether one is needed and can arrange certified translations ourselves.

How long does service take?

Within the United States, most services are completed within days. Abroad it depends on the route: private service can take a few weeks, while Central Authority and letters rogatory requests can take several months. We give you a realistic estimate for your country before you order.

How do I pay?

After we review your request, we send a quote and then an invoice or a secure payment link. We never ask for card numbers through our website forms.

Tell us where your papers need to go

Send us the country or state, the documents and your deadline. Our docket team will reply with the right route, the timing and a free quote.
