Article 105Service of Persons Wherever They May Be Found

第百五条(出会送達)

Notwithstanding the provisions of the preceding two Articles, a person who is to be served with documents but who does not manifestly have an address in Japan (excluding one that has submitted a notification pursuant to the provisions of the first sentence of paragraph (1) of the preceding Article) may be served wherever the person effecting the service finds the person who is to be served. The same applies if a person who clearly has an address in Japan or a person who has submitted a notification pursuant to the provisions of the first sentence of that paragraph does not refuse to be served with the documents.

前二条の規定にかかわらず、送達を受けるべき者で日本国内に住所等を有することが明らかでないもの(前条第一項前段の規定による届出をした者を除く。)に対する書類の送達は、その者に出会った場所においてすることができる。日本国内に住所等を有することが明らかな者又は同項前段の規定による届出をした者が書類の送達を受けることを拒まないときも、同様とする。
