fact for receipt required for certain insurers; methods of serving.
1. Before the Commissioner may authorize
it to transact insurance in this state, each insurer must appoint the
Commissioner as its attorney in fact to receive service of legal process issued
against the insurer in this state. The appointment must be made on a form as
designated and furnished by the Commissioner, and must be accompanied by a copy
of a resolution of the board of directors or like governing body of the
insurer, if an incorporated insurer, showing that those officers who executed
the appointment were authorized to do so on behalf of the insurer.
2. The appointment must be irrevocable,
must bind the insurer and any successor in interest to the assets or
liabilities of the insurer, and must remain in effect as long as there is in
force any contract of the insurer in this state or any obligation of the
insurer arising out of its transactions in this state.
3. Service of such process against a
foreign or alien insurer must be made only by service thereof upon the
Commissioner.
4. Service of such process against a
domestic insurer may be made as provided in this section, or in any other
manner provided by Nevada Rules of Civil Procedure.
5. At the time of application for a
certificate of authority the insurer shall file the appointment with the
Commissioner, together with a designation of the person to whom process against
it served upon the Commissioner is to be forwarded. The insurer shall provide
written notice to the Commissioner of any change of such a designation by a new
filing.
6. Service of process against an insurer
for whom the Commissioner is attorney in fact must be made in accordance with NRS 680A.260.
