Details About International Service of Process to Hong Kong from the United States

In 1997, control of Hong Kong was transferred from the British to the People’s Republic of China. Hong Kong is more peculiar about the contents of legal documents than anyplace else. Very close attention is paid to the diction of all legal documents to ensure that Hong Kong is never considered sovereign.

As an expert Hong Kong process service company for more than 30 years, we will go over the best options for process service in a free consultation based on your specific case. We also offer to rush your serve to Hong Kong through informal (non-Hague) methods. This generally takes 1-2 weeks to complete. Contact us for more details.

Here’s How Our Hong Kong Process Service Company Works

FORMAL SERVICE

Formal process service through the Hague Service Convention is available in Hong Kong. It typically takes less than three months (sometimes less than one) to complete Hague Convention Service in Hong Kong. Our most experienced process servers have worked closely with government officials and members of the Central Authority of here, and in many cases this helps expedite your service. If you are curious about the status of your assignment, we offer status updates on all Hague Service Convention process service requests. Contact us using the forms on this page to serve your legal documents in Hong Kong as soon as possible.

INFORMAL SERVICE

In countries where formal process service methods are not recognized, private process servers deliver legal papers informally (in person) directly to the business or individual’s address. If you do not know the correct address to serve a person or business, we can find it for you immediately. In many nations, informal (in person) service of legal documents works the same way as it does in the United States or United Kingdom. However, remote locations (especially those in nations outside North America) may take longer to serve due to private security or other commonly-used services to help avoid the service of legal documents. Rest assured, we have more than three decades of practice and will keep you updated throughout the process service assignment. Our process service specialists complete most informal (in person) service assignments in less than 4 weeks and can make a next-day service attempt in the United States, United Kingdom, Canada, and more. Contact us using the forms on this page to serve your legal documents in Hong Kong as soon as possible. Note: This is the proper process service method for serving U.S. military personnel.

LETTERS ROGATORY

Letters Rogatory is another option for obtaining evidence during discovery or notifying a person or business of legal action you are taking against them. This process takes longer than others; however, Letters Rogatory are recognized are a formal method of international process service. In many nations, it is the only formal method available because they are not members of the Hague Service Convention.
