Service Timeframes and Attempts

How long does it take to effect service in Bangladesh?

Standard service is typically completed within 3-5 working days after we receive your documents and payment. Complex cases or rural locations may require additional time.

How many attempts will you make to serve documents?

We make up to three (3) service attempts in metropolitan areas of Bangladesh. For rural or remote locations, service attempts are determined on a case-by-case basis depending on accessibility and local conditions.

What happens if a person or company cannot be served by the court's due date?

If despite our best efforts we cannot meet the timeline set by the court, you will need to request an extension or reset from the court and submit a new service request to our office. We recommend allowing sufficient time before court deadlines when submitting service requests.

Documentation and Legal Requirements

Do you provide proof of service or an affidavit?

Yes. We provide a formal affidavit of service documenting the successful delivery of your documents, including all relevant details required by courts.

Does the proof or affidavit need to be notarised?

Notarisation requirements depend on your jurisdiction's rules and the requirements of the originating court. For international service in Bangladesh, notarisation is not typically required

How do I know if my documents have been properly served?

We provide detailed service confirmation, including the date, time, location, and recipient information. Our affidavits meet legal requirements for both Bangladesh and international courts.

Submission and Payment

How do I submit documents for service in Bangladesh?

Documents can be submitted to us via email. We accept documents in PDF format and will advise if additional formats are required.

Do I need to prepay for services?

Yes, prepayment is required for most services in Bangladesh. For law firms with established relationships, we may offer alternative payment arrangements. Please contact us to discuss payment options.

What payment methods do you accept?

Ideally we would take payment via bank transfer to minimise fees for both sides. Detailed payment instructions will be provided upon confirmation of your service request (alternative payment methods could be made available, such as taking card payments through Stripe as the payment processor)

Special Circumstances

Can you serve legal documents on businesses or registered agents in Bangladesh?

Yes. We can serve documents on businesses, corporate entities, and registered agents throughout Bangladesh. Business service often requires less time than individual service.

What if the person to be served is avoiding service?

We use professional techniques to complete difficult services. If standard approaches are unsuccessful, we can discuss alternative service methods that may be available under Bangladesh law or through court approval.

Can you serve documents in languages other than English?

Yes. For service in Bangladesh, documents in languages other than Bengali or English typically require certified translation. We can arrange translation services at an additional cost.

Do you handle international service from foreign courts into Bangladesh?

Yes. We specialise in handling international service requests into Bangladesh. We understand the complexities of cross-border legal procedures and ensure compliance with both local requirements and the originating jurisdiction's rules.

Special Services

Do you offer rush service?

Yes, expedited service is available in most metropolitan areas of Bangladesh for an additional fee, typically completing service within 24-48 hours of document receipt.

Can you handle sensitive or high-profile cases?

Yes. Our team can handle confidential, sensitive, and high-profile matters with appropriate discretion and professionalism.
