Palau is not a member of the “Hague Service Convention” (Convention on the Service Abroad of Judicial and Extrajudicial Documents in Civil or Commercial Matters), which came into existence to give litigants a reliable and efficient means of serving the documents on parties living, operating or based in another country.

However, Palau accedes to the "Apostille Convention". On 17 October 2019, the Republic of Palau deposited its instrument of accession to the HCCH Convention of 5 October 1961 Abolishing the Requirement of Legalisation for Foreign Public Documents (HCCH Apostille Convention). With the accession of Palau, the HCCH Apostille Convention now has 118 Contracting Parties; it will enter into force for Palau on 23 June 2020.

Also, Palau accedes to the "Convention on the Recognition and Enforcement of Foreign Arbitral Awards". With its accession to the United Nations Convention the Recognition and Enforcement of Foreign Arbitral Awards (the "New York Convention"), Palau becomes the 163rd State Party to the Convention. The Convention will enter into force for Palau on 29 June 2020. (https://uncitral.un.org/en/Palau_NYC)
