Note that some countries do not allow personal service by a private agent due to Australian treaties. If serving in a country where personal service is not allowed, Gotcha Process serving Agency will go through diplomatic channels via the Australian Attorney General’s Department in Canberra.
All documents are prepared by our process server agents and sworn by a notarised Affidavit of Service orAttempted Service.
Understanding International Process serving Protocols & The Hague Convention
Serving legal documents internationally is not a “one size fits all” process. The method used depends entirely on the treaties Australia holds with the destination country.
Diplomatic Channels
As noted, for countries that strictly prohibit private service, we manage the complex process of lodging documents through the Australian Attorney General’s Department. We ensure your documents traverse the diplomatic path correctly to avoid rejection.
Hague Convention Countries
For countries that are signatories to the Hague Convention on the Service Abroad of Judicial and Extrajudicial Documents, specific formal requests must be made. Gotcha PSA is experienced in preparing these requests to ensure they meet the strict formatting required by foreign Central Authorities.
Private Service
In countries like the UK, USA, or New Zealand, we can often utilise our network of private agents to effect service quickly, similar to how we operate domestically.
Managing Expectations regarding Timeframes
While the Gotcha Process Serving Agency prides itself on efficiency, serving documents overseas involves variables beyond our control, including time zones, foreign holidays, and local bureaucracy.
Our Promise
Regardless of the method required, Gotcha provides regular updates. We chase our international partners and the relevant authorities so you don’t have to, ensuring you are informed the moment service is effected or an attempt is made.
Private Agent Service
generally takes 2–4 weeks depending on the location and the responsiveness of the defendant.
Hague Convention/Diplomatic Service
This is a formal government-to-government process and can take several months to finalise.
Translation and Compliance Requirements
When serving documents in a country where English is not the official language, the local courts often require the documents to be translated to be considered validly served.
Notarisation
Our team ensures that all Affidavits of Service returning from overseas meet the notarization standards required by Australian courts.
Certified Translations
Gotcha can advise you on whether your destination country requires a certified translation of the originating process (such as the Application for Divorce or Summons).
Dual-Language Service
To protect your case, we often recommend serving both the English original and the translated copy. This ensures the defendant understands the documents and prevents them from claiming ignorance in court later.
