International Directory
Service outside the United States runs on a treaty, a convention or the destination country’s own procedure — and often on all three. 36 destinations are currently published, covering outbound service from United States courts and inbound papers requiring domestic execution.
Each destination retains its country-specific service guidance. Select a country below to review the applicable procedures, documentation and inquiry options.

Before You Request
The governing instrument comes first: the Hague Service Convention where both states are parties, the Inter-American Convention where it applies, or the destination’s domestic procedure where no treaty controls.
The executing authority comes second. Some states require service through a central authority or a court-appointed officer; others permit a private process server. Translation, formal service requests and proof requirements follow from that choice, not from the requester’s preference.
