France

Here’s how it typically works:

• Request: The process begins with a request for service of judicial or extrajudicial documents from the requesting party (usually the plaintiff or petitioner) to the Central Authority in the country where the documents are to be served (in this case, France).
• Documentation: The request should include specific documentation as required by the Convention, and information about the parties involved.
• Central Authority: The Central Authority in France receives the request and arranges for service of process according to the laws and procedures of France.
• Service: The Central Authority typically provides a certificate or a declaration of non-service, indicating the outcome of the service attempt.
• Return of Documentation: The completed certificate or declaration is returned to the requesting party through the appropriate channels.
  
  

It’s important to note that while the Hague Service Convention provides a framework for international service of process, the specific procedures and requirements may vary by country. Additionally, there may be exceptions or limitations to service under certain circumstances, so it’s advisable to consult professionals familiar with international law and the laws of the relevant countries involved.
