foreign​tribunals​and​to​litigants​before​such​tribunals​by​the​Government​of​the​United​States.

SERVICE OF JUDICIAL DOCUMENTS
​ The first​category​of​assistance​concerns​the​formal​delivery​of​legal​documents​in​the​United​

States.​Upon​the​request​of​the​Department​of​State,​the​Department​of​Justice,​through​the​United​States​
Marshals​Service,​will​attempt​to​deliver​legal​documents​to​persons​or​entities​within​the​jurisdiction​of​

the​United​States​and,​if​successful,​will​return​to​the​requesting​authority​a​certificate​stating​the​time​and​
place​of​service.​The​Department​of​State​will​transmit​requests​for​service​of​process​received​through​
diplomatic​channels​to​the​Department​of​Justice​for​execution​provided:

​ --​​the​request​originates​with​a​foreign​tribunal​or​other​judicial​authorty;
​ --​ the​document​is​issued​in​connection​with​a​judicial​proceeding​pending​before​such​tribunal​

or​judicial​authority;
​ --​ the​request​and​the​document​to​be​served​are​translated​into​English;
​ --​ two​sets​of​the​document​and​its​translation​are​supplied​(one​set​will​be​served​and​the​other​

will​be​returned​by​the​Marshals​Service​together​with​the​proof​of​service);
​ --​ each​request​is​accompanied​by​a​check​or​money​order​in​the​amount​of​$15.00,​payable​to​

the​Treasurer​of​the​United​States;
​ --​ a​full​name​and​street​address​is​given​for​the​individual​or​entity​to​be​served​(personal​
service​cannot​be​made​if​only​a​post​office​box​number​is​given);​and

​ --​ every​document​issued​for​the​purpose​of​notifying​an​individual​of​a​hearing​at​which​the​

individual's​rights​or​obligations​may​be​affected​is​received​in​the​Department​of​State​at​least​forty-fifive
days​prior​to​the​date​set​for​the​hearing.​
​ Requests​for​service​transmitted​through​diplomatic​channels​need​not​be​legalized​or​authenticated​
if​the​transmittal​note​confirms​that​the​request​emanates​from​a​duly​constituted​tribunal​or​other​judicial​

authority​of​the​requesting​country.
​ Documents​ conforming​ to​ the​ foregoing​ requirements​ will​ be​ forwarded​ promptly​ to​

the​Department​of​Justice​for​service​by​the​Marshals​Service​in​the​manner​provided​for​the​service​of​
similar​documents​in​domestic​actions​(see​pertinent​excerpts​form​Rule​4​of​the​Federal​Rules​of​Civil​
Procedure,​enclosure​1),​unless​another​manner​is​specified​in​the​request.​The​Marshals​Service​will​make​

diligent​efforts​to​serve​the​document,​but​if​service​cannot​be​made​after​three​attempts,​it​will​be​returned​
together​with​a​written​statement​showing​the​dates,​times​and​the​place​where​service​was​attempted.​If​

the​designated​recipient​has​moved,​the​Marshals​Service​will​try​to​ascertain​the​forwarding​address​and​
cause​the​document​to​be​served​at​that​address​without​additional​charge​to​the​requesting​authority.
