U.S. Department of State
Bureau of Consular Affairs International Judicial Assistance, Notarial Services
and Authentication of Documents SPECIAL NOTICE: Change in the Service of Process Function Effective June 1, 2003, the U.S. Department of Justice is delegating the service of process function to a private contractor, Process Forwarding International of Seattle, Washington. The contractor will be handling requests under the multilateral Hague and Inter-American Service Conventions, and requests from countries not party to either treaty. This procedural change does not imply the formal designation of a new central authority for either the Hague Service Convention or the Inter-American Convention on Letters Rogatory and Additional Protocol, but simply reflects the outsourcing of certain activities conducted by the central authority, which formally remains in the U.S. Department of Justice. Contact: Process Forwarding International, 910 5th Avenue, Seattle, WA98104 USA, telephone: (206) 521-2979; fax: 206-224- 3410; e-mail: info@hagueservice.net | |
