Hague & international service
Cross-border service without the guesswork
Canada and India are both parties to the Hague Service Convention, which sets out how court documents from one member country are formally served in another. We prepare the request, work with the right Central Authority, track it, and return the certificate of service to you.
What's included
Request preparation
We check the documents and the model request form before anything is sent, which avoids the most common reasons for a request being returned.
Central Authority liaison
We send the request to the right designated authority and follow up.
Translation coordination
If the documents need translating, we arrange it and include it in your quotation.
Certificate returned
The completed certificate of service is sent to you, ready to file in the originating court.

Questions
About hague & international service
Why isn't there a fixed price?
Timing, translation, and Central Authority requirements differ by country. A quotation means you know the cost before we start.
Can't you just mail documents to India?
India objects to service by postal channels under the Convention, so formal service of foreign court documents there goes through its Central Authority. For notices that don't need formal service, we can deliver in person.
