Worldwide Service of Process · Coordinated from the United States
When your papers must be served beyond the United States, Global Process Service carries them there through the channel the law provides: Hague Service Convention coordination — the Article 5 request packet prepared, the certified translation arranged, the request filed with the destination's Central Authority, tracked through to completion, and the proof of service returned to your firm. One flat rate: $995, for every Hague country.
$995 Flat — Every Hague Country ◆ Article 5 Central Authority Channel ◆ Proof of Service Returned
Global Process Service is operated by Joshua J. Almeida, a private process server based in Rhode Island. It coordinates service abroad; it does not perform it. Execution in the destination country is always by that country's own court officers, under its law — the operator never serves papers outside United States jurisdiction.

Every country carries one position, stated plainly — on the interactive globe, country by country, and in the cards below.
For Hague Service Convention countries — some eighty-four in the network — the request travels the Article 5 Central Authority channel: Form USM-94 packet prepared, certified translation into the destination's language arranged, filing made, tracking maintained, proof of service returned. Offer-ready examples: Canada, Mexico, the Bahamas, Barbados, Antigua and Barbuda, Belize, Costa Rica, St. Vincent and the Grenadines, and the Dominican Republic.
The operator frequents the Dominican Republic, and Dominican matters are a featured line of this service: the Article 5 packet and certified Spanish translation are prepared here, the request is filed with the Dominican Central Authority, and execution on the ground is by a Dominican alguacil — a court officer acting under Dominican law. Stated honestly: Central Authority service typically takes months, not days.
Where no Hague channel exists, service is arranged — where a functioning route exists — by letters rogatory or the Inter-American channel. These matters are never folded into the flat rate: each is quoted in full, in writing, before anything is dispatched.
No channel is offered where service cannot lawfully or feasibly be effected. Excluded, plainly and without exception: Cuba, Haiti, and North Korea, together with sanctioned and active-war jurisdictions. On the globe, they are drawn in black.
Email the papers, the service address abroad, and your deadline. The destination's position — Hague, letters rogatory, or no service — is confirmed in writing before anything is accepted or billed.
The Article 5 request packet (Form USM-94) is prepared, the certified translation into the destination's language is arranged, and the request is filed with that country's Central Authority.
The request is tracked through the Central Authority until the destination's court officers effect service. The certificate and proof of service are returned to your firm for filing.
A coordination is only finished when the record is in your hands: the Central Authority's certificate and the proof of service, returned to your firm for filing with the court. Status is reported as the request moves — nothing disappears into the channel unaccounted for.
This service coordinates; it does not serve. No paper is ever served by the operator outside the United States, and no page of this site suggests otherwise. Its whole work is the road the papers travel: the packet, the translation, the filing, the tracking, and the proof that comes back.
Email the papers, the service address abroad, and your deadline. The destination's channel and the full cost will be confirmed in writing — Hague coordination is one flat $995.
