What are the service fees for formal (treaty) and informal (agent) service?
Fees are determined by the type of treaty, as different treaties require more documentation. Hague Service Convention is $300.00 to $400.00 (depending on which country as central authorities vary). Inter-American Convention, Hague Evidence Convention, and Letters Rogatory, require more documentation and U.S. Embassy fees so they are more expensive $500.00 – $875.00. Agent service costs vary depending on where documents are to be served , and the accessibility of the address; the range is usually $500.00 to $900.00 dollars. These costs are only for service. If the country where you are requesting service require translation of the service documents, expect to pay $50.00 to $85.00 per page. It is important documents are translated by a reliable source; services have been returned because of translation inaccuracies.
