Section 645.495 - Nonresident licensee required to authorize service of process upon Administrator1. 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 licensee's 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.Added to NRS by 1987, 516Added to NRS by 1987, 516
