Hague & international service
Cross-border service without the guesswork
Canada is a party to the Hague Service Convention, which sets out how documents from other member countries are served here. We prepare the request, work with the Central Authority for the right province or territory, 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
Each province and territory has its own designated authority. We send the request to the right one and follow up.
Translation coordination
If the documents need to be translated into English or French, we arrange it and include it in your quotation.
Certificate returned
The completed certificate of service is added to your case, ready to file in the originating court.
