For banks, lenders and their legal representatives

ICEU.S. Immigration and Customs EnforcementTracing following deportation or removal

When someone is removed from the United States, banks, lenders and their legal representatives may lose contact while financial or legal matters remain outstanding. We specialise in working with foreclosure agents. We assist with lawful enquiries to locate individuals in the Caribbean, establish a current address and arrange service of legal documents where required.

We review the information available and explain the practical next steps before accepting instructions.

Caribbean Process Servers is an independent firm and is not affiliated with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).

Antigua and BarbudaYesYesYesBarbuda service may require a boat transfer.
Aruba (ABC Islands)YesYesYesDutch-language documents: tell us before dispatch.
BahamasYesYesYes

Out-island addresses add travel time; we will say how much. Our second-busiest island for serving process at registered addresses. We generally serve the same or next day, where possible.

Additional services: property and vessel ownership enquiries, immigration arrivals and departures, civil and criminal record checks, and flight and vessel movements. Ask for details. Availability and lawful access are confirmed before instructions are accepted.

Cayman IslandsYesYesYesGrand Cayman registered offices; sister islands on request.
Curaçao (ABC Islands)YesYesYesDutch-language documents: tell us before dispatch. Most overseas courts require service by bailiff. NOTE: island bailiffs can be a lot slower than a local process server....by up to 10 days.
DominicaYesYesYesInterior addresses: terrain can affect timing.
Dominican RepublicYesYesYesShares the island of Hispaniola with Haiti. Spanish address detail helps.
EcuadorYesYesYesSouth America. Ask us before you file.
French GuianaYesYesYesSouth America, French jurisdiction — ask about document form first.
HaitiYesYesYesWe will tell you frankly if conditions make an address unsafe. Will quote service fees including agent security, access / exit fee. Your end client will be under no illusions as to what goes into serving in Haiti.
GrenadaYesYesYesCarriacou and Petite Martinique by boat.
GuyanaYesYesYesMainland CARICOM, common law. Coastal regions and Georgetown; interior quoted individually.
GuadeloupeYesYesYesFrench jurisdiction — ask us about document form first.
HondurasYesYesYesCentral America, mainland addresses.
Inter-island serviceYes—YesDocuments moved between islands by air or boat where a serve requires it.
JamaicaYesYesYesOur home desk. All 14 parishes, island-wide. Note: not all houses are numbered, nor streets named. Inner Jamaica is considered hill and gully, so it is not how far the address is but how much time it will take. Many Jamaicans have mail sent to the local post office and not to their home address. Not all Jamaicans are known by their birth names — if you know their nick or pet name, that is helpful. John Brown may be known as “Mass Blood Rat, Blackie, Ting Man.”
MontserratYesYesYesNorthern zone only — Plymouth is inside the exclusion zone. Access via Antigua.
MartiniqueYesYesYesFrench jurisdiction — ask us about document form first.
RoatánYesYesYesBay Islands, Honduras. Reached by air or ferry.

Saint LuciaYesYesYesIsland-wide. Castries registry; quarter-and-landmark addresses read locally.

Certificate of Service same day as served, or within 48 hours should an sworn Affidavit of Service be required.  Service time of Summons & Complains, Divorce Petitions etc upon an individual depend on the information you give in advance.

Unsure about an address or the correct service route? Ask us before you commit. We will review the destination and practical requirements with you.

Before you instruct

Useful answers.
Without the guesswork.

Check the destination, prepare the documents and understand the proposed fee. Our guidance helps you ask the right questions; the applicable rules and your court’s requirements still need checking.

Unsure what the Hague Service Convention means? You are in the right place to check our Hague Matrix.

Communication that helps you

An update you can act on.

A useful update explains what happened, what remains uncertain and what decision is needed next. That is the standard we aim for, so you can brief your client with confidence.

Before service, we work with you to check the respondent’s name and current registered office. If another address emerges, your client can decide whether to instruct one location or both.

Before you commit

Will it cost — or will it be cost effective?

Whether a trip to Mustique, Roatán, or Haiti is worth anyone's money. Ask before you commit, at no cost and with no obligation — we would far rather spend time doing the research with you than watch a good case founder on a bad address or not knowing the security requirements.

Our reputation is for bringing you a prompt response and speed of service. Detailed reporting with photographs so your end client understands exactly what is going on in the field.

More than process serving

Tracing and private investigations

Address enquiries, records research and hotel surveillance, with local assistance across the Caribbean. Availability and lawful scope are confirmed before we accept instructions.
