Arkansas Code Title 17. Professions, Occupations, and Businesses § 17-17-306. Proceedings against nonresidents

In addition, every nonresident applicant shall file an irrevocable consent that actions may be commenced against the applicant in any court of competent jurisdiction in the State of Arkansas, by the service of any summons, process, or pleading authorized by the law on the Secretary-treasurer of the Auctioneer's Licensing Board. The consent shall stipulate and agree that the service of the process, summons, or pleading on the secretary-treasurer shall be taken and held in all courts to be as valid and binding as if actual service had been made upon the applicant in Arkansas. In case any summons, process, or pleading is served upon the secretary-treasurer of the board, it shall be by duplicate copies, one (1) of which shall be retained in the office of the board, and the other immediately forwarded by registered mail to the last known business address of the applicant against whom the summons, process, or pleading may be directed.
