Details About International Service of Process in China

Given China’s vast population and bureaucratic Central Authority, process servers encounter more legal challenges in this nation than perhaps any other. Changes in the economy often lead to temporary or indefinite legal changes. An accurate, up-to-date, physical address is critical to successful process service anywhere in China. You must ensure that both:

• the defendant can be located at the address provided, and
• their address is properly represented

The Chinese Central Authority for the Hague Service Convention has recognized Nationwide Legal Support Service as a leading preparer of Hague Service Requests because of our due diligence in adhering to their many specifications.

Translations into Chinese are mandatory for Hague Service Requests. Many languages are spoken in China, so it’s important that you know which is best for your defendant. Standard Chinese, also known as Mandarin, is the official language of the People’s Republic of China, but some regions have their own languages and dialects. Hong Kong and Macau do not speak Mandarin officially like the People’s Republic of China.

How to Obtain an Enforceable Judgment in China from the United States

China has recently shown a willingness to recognize and enforce foreign judgments, but the process can be complicated. Remember the following before attempting to serve legal papers on a defendant located in China.

1. Skilled and reliable attorneys are hard to find and filter through, especially when there is a language barrier. Our company has 3 decades of experience vetting the top Chinese attorneys to benefit our clients.
2. The time that it takes to complete process service requests initiated with The People’s Republic of China may vary significantly, but we’re always working to move your case forward (plus, status updates are available at all times through our website).
3. All legal documents submitted to courts located in China must be translated to the official language used on-site.

Request an immediate status update from our China process servers at no additional charge. We stay up-to-date on the rules of international service of process through intelligence briefings provided directly from the United States Department of State. Our notes on the socio-political conditions in nations we serve are provided by the Central Intelligence Agency. Speed of service may take longer than usual in turbulent regions.

Warning: Many websites offer international service of process to China at suspiciously low prices. Beware of scam services created by unlicensed companies, especially those offering contracts with unfair or nonexistent refund policies. Some companies offer only a single attempt at service and have no way to overcome common issues like address information that is not up-to-date. Nationwide Legal Support Service is prepared for each of these scenarios and more. Contact our China process servers with any questions today.
