Hague Convention Service in England and Wales
If you need to serve overseas court papers or legal documents in England and Wales under the Hague Service Convention, PB Process Servers UK Ltd can help. We provide a fast, reliable and compliant service under Article 10(b) for overseas law firms, businesses and private individuals.
How to Serve Hague Convention Documents in England and Wales
If you need to serve overseas court papers in England and Wales under the Hague Service Convention, PB Process Servers UK Ltd can help. We provide a fast, reliable and compliant service for overseas law firms, businesses and private individuals.
Service is arranged under Article 10(b) through a solicitor in England and Wales who acts as the competent person. The solicitor instructs PB Process Servers UK Ltd to attend and personally serve the documents in accordance with the requirements of the originating court.
Once service has been completed, we provide the solicitor with detailed evidence confirming when, where and how the documents were served. The solicitor then prepares the formal certificate of service for use in the overseas proceedings.
This direct method can provide a quicker alternative to service through the UK Central Authority, where Article 10(b) service is permitted by the originating jurisdiction.
No stress. No unnecessary delays. Just professional Hague Convention service throughout England and Wales.
How Does Article 10(b) Service Work?
The appropriate method of service will depend on the requirements of the originating court and any specific instructions contained within the documents.
For service under Article 10(b), a solicitor in England and Wales acts as the competent person and instructs PB Process Servers UK Ltd to carry out the physical service. Our Process Server attends the relevant address and personally delivers the documents in accordance with the instructions received.
Following service, we provide detailed evidence confirming when, where and how the documents were served. The solicitor then prepares and issues the formal certificate confirming service for use in the overseas proceedings.
Clients should confirm with their overseas lawyer that service under Article 10(b) is permitted by the originating court or jurisdiction.
