Open in Lexace · Ask the AI about this section
1. No license may be issued pursuant to NRS 645.490 to a resident of a state other
than Nevada until the applicant has appointed in writing the Administrator to
be his or her agent, upon whom all process, in any action or proceeding against
the applicant, may be served. In this writing the applicant must agree that any
process against him or her which is served on the Administrator is of the same
legal validity as if it had been served on the applicant and state that the
appointment continues in force as long as any liability remains outstanding
against the applicant in this State. It must contain a stipulation agreeing to
venue in any judicial or administrative district in this State without regard
to the location of the licensees principal place of business. The written
appointment must be acknowledged before an officer authorized to take acknowledgments
of deeds and must be filed in the office of the Administrator. A copy of the
appointment which is certified by the Administrator is sufficient evidence of
the appointment and agreement.
2. When any process is served upon the
Administrator under this section, the Administrator shall mail the process by
certified mail to the last known address of the licensee. Service is complete
upon such mailing. The manner of serving process described in this subsection
does not affect the validity of any other service authorized by law.
