第百十条(公示送達の要件)

In the following casesand upon petition, the court clerk may effect service by publication:

次に掲げる場合には、裁判所書記官は、申立てにより、公示送達をすることができる。

if the party's domicile and residence are unknown, and no other place where the party may be served is known (excluding the case where service may be effected pursuant to the provisions of Article 109-2);

当事者の住所、居所その他送達をすべき場所が知れない場合(第百九条の二の規定により送達をすることができる場合を除く。)

if it is impossible to effect service pursuant to the provisions of Article 107, paragraph (1);

第百七条第一項の規定により送達をすることができない場合

if, for service of documents that is to be effected in a foreign country, recourse to the provisions of Article 108 is not possible or it is found that service cannot be effected even through recourse to those provisions;

外国においてすべき書類の送達について、第百八条の規定によることができず、又はこれによっても送達をすることができないと認めるべき場合

if a paper document certifying service has not been sent even though six months have passed since the presiding judge issued the request to the competent government agency of a foreign country pursuant to the provisions of Article 108.

第百八条の規定により外国の管轄官庁に嘱託を発した後六月を経過してもその送達を証する書面の送付がない場合

In a case as referred to in the preceding paragraph, if the court finds it to be necessary in order to avoid a delay in litigation, it may order the court clerk to effect service by publication, even if there has been no such petition.

前項の場合において、裁判所は、訴訟の遅滞を避けるため必要があると認めるときは、申立てがないときであっても、裁判所書記官に公示送達をすべきことを命ずることができる。

Second and subsequent service by publication on the same party is effected by the court clerk sua sponte; provided, however, that this does not apply in the case stated in paragraph (1), item (iv).

同一の当事者に対する二回目以降の公示送達は、職権でする。ただし、第一項第四号に掲げる場合は、この限りでない。
