Service of Process in the Dominican Republic

Service of Process in the Dominican Republic

Nationwide Process Serving with Required Spanish Translation Included

Poindexter Global Intelligence provides professional service of process in the Dominican Republic, offering lawful, verifiable delivery of judicial and extrajudicial legal documents throughout all provinces and judicial districts of the country. Our services are designed for U.S. and international law firms, insurers, corporate counsel, and financial institutions requiring compliant cross-border service that will withstand judicial scrutiny.

Service of process in the Dominican Republic is governed by constitutional and procedural law. Failure to comply with statutory language and service requirements may result in null service, procedural delays, or dismissal of claims. Poindexter Global Intelligence addresses these risks by delivering a fully compliant service of process solution, including mandatory Spanish translation, which is required under Dominican law and included in our pricing.

Legal Requirements for Service of Process in the Dominican Republic

Spanish is the official language of the Dominican Republic and the exclusive language of its courts and administrative proceedings. This requirement is established by:

• Article 29 of the Constitution of the Dominican Republic, which designates Spanish as the official language of the State
• Articles 23–28 of the Dominican Code of Civil Procedure (Código de Procedimiento Civil), which require that summonses, notices, pleadings, and judicial acts served within the Dominican Republic be written in Spanish to be legally valid

As a result, foreign-language legal documents must be translated into Spanish before service. Service attempted using English-only documents may be challenged and declared invalid by Dominican courts.

To ensure compliance, Poindexter Global Intelligence includes professional Spanish translation of all service documents as part of every service of process engagement in the Dominican Republic.
