Process Service in Nevis

As an island nation, Nevis (St. Kitts and Nevis) is a signatory to the Hague Convention on the Service Abroad of Judicial and Extrajudicial Documents in Civil or Commercial Matters (20 UST361). This treaty is the most widely recognized framework for the international service of process. Courts frequently hold that failure to follow treaty procedures results in invalid service, underscoring the critical need to comply with the established rules. While the treaty provides a baseline, each contracting state, including St. Kitts and Nevis, may implement specific reservations, declarations, and notifications affecting its execution, such as required translations and enforced provisions. When commencing discovery and needing to obtain evidence located within Nevis, Ancillary is prepared to assist. We ensure compliance not only with applicable state or federal rules but also with the specific laws and regulations of St. Kitts and Nevis regarding evidence gathering abroad.
