Process Service in Malta

As a dedicated Malta Process Server, we recognize that Malta is a member of the Hague Convention on the Service Abroad of Judicial and Extrajudicial Documents in Civil or Commercial Matters, 20 UST361. This treaty is globally recognized for governing the service of process between its member states, which include many of the world’s industrialized countries. Given that most Courts have determined that service conducted outside the treaty procedures constitutes invalid service, adherence to its guidelines is critical—failure to use the treaty will have consequences for your case. It is important to remember that every treaty country, including Malta, can have different specific procedures and is allowed to make changes affecting its sovereignty, such as which treaty provisions will be enforced or prohibited, and what translation requirements may exist. When you begin discovery in your lawsuit and the evidence sought is in a foreign country, let Ancillary assist you in obtaining evidence abroad. When seeking evidence located in a foreign jurisdiction, it is essential to observe not only the applicable state or federal rules, but also the specific laws and regulations of the foreign country where the evidence is located.
