Serving process abroad
Under the Hague Service Convention, a document sent through a country's Central Authority for service may have to be written in, or translated into, that country's official language, and many Central Authorities insist on it. The summons, the complaint and any exhibits served with them are translated together.
Service can fail, and months be lost, over a missing or incomplete translation. The translation covers every document in the service package, with court captions and case numbers reproduced exactly. Where the destination country has its own certification requirements, check them before ordering.
