U.S. Depositions in Hong Kong: What you need to know
Before you schedule a court reporter in Hong Kong, learn more about the rules and regulations regarding U.S. depositions in Hong Kong.
Are there any restrictions on holding a U.S. depo in Hong Kong?
In Hong Kong, consular officers may take voluntary depositions of U.S. citizen witnesses without prior permission from Hong Kong authorities. Consistent with Hong Kong’s declarations and reservations regarding the Hague Evidence Convention, consular officers are prohibited from taking voluntary depositions of non-U.S. citizen witnesses. As an alternative, if prior permission is granted by Hong Kong’s Competent Authority, voluntary depositions may be conducted by commissioners in Hong Kong regardless of the nationality of the witness, provided no compulsion is used.

Depositions in Hong Kong can take place at the venue of your choosing, whether that be a hotel, law firm office, conference room, or videoconferencing facility.
