By tracking legal changes and current events, Process Server One’s Germany process servers understand the best ways to expedite assignments and beat pressing deadlines. In addition to rush service we offer to serve your legal paperwork informally, which can save months of time compared to formal service through the Hague Convention.

Note: Process service in Germany (formal and informal) can vary greatly because customs and traditions lead to delays year round.
