The Oregon Declaration, Motion, and Order for Commission to Take Foreign Deposition is a legal document used to request permission to take a deposition from someone located outside the state of Oregon. This document must be signed by the requesting party and a judge before it can be served on the foreign witness. Depending on the country in which the witness is located, the Oregon Declaration, Motion, and Order for Commission to Take Foreign Deposition may need to be filed with the foreign court or government. There are three types of Oregon Declaration, Motion, and Order for Commission to Take Foreign Deposition: Foreign Commission Order, Letter of Request, and Hague Service Convention. The Foreign Commission Order is a formal request for the court to issue a commission for the person to be deposed to appear and testify outside the state of Oregon. The Letter of Request is an informal request to the foreign court to issue a commission for the deposition to take place. The Hague Service Convention is a treaty that provides for the service of legal documents between signatory countries.
