1. (a) The Republic of Korea court in authority may request a liaison agency established or designated by the military authorities of the United States to ensure service of documents arising
in non-criminal proceedings upon members of the United States armed forces, the civilian component, or upon dependents or invited contractors.

(b) Receipt of a request forwarded by a Republic of Korea court for service shall be acknowledged by the liaison agency without delay. Service shall be effective when the
document to be served is delivered to the addressee by his unit commander or by a representative of the liaison agency. Notification in writing that service has been effected shall be given
without delay to the Republic of Korea court in authority.

stating that it has not been possible to effect service, the court in authority shall forward to the liaison agency another copy of the request for service with notice
that seven days after receipt by the liaison agency service shall be deemed to have been effected. At the expiry of this seven-day period, service shall be deemed to
have been effected.
(ii) Service shall not, however, be deemed to have been effected if the liaison agency notifies the Republic of Korea court in authority prior to the expiry

of the period of twenty-one days or seven days, as the case may be, that it has not been able to effect service. The liaison agency shall inform the Republic of Korea
court in authority in writing of the reasons for its inablility to do so.

period stating in such request the reasons therefor. If this request for extension is accepted by the Republic of Korea court in authority, items (i) and (ii) shall be
applicable mutatis mutandis to the period so extended.
