Idaho Statutes Title 30. Corporations § 30-14-611. Service of process

(a) Signed consent to service of process. A consent appointing the administrator the person's agent for service of process in a noncriminal action or proceeding against the person, or the person's successor or personal representative under this chapter or a rule adopted or an order issued under this chapter after the consent is filed, has the same force and validity as if the service were made personally on the person filing the consent. Registrants shall be required to submit a consent to service of process only if there has been a material change.

(b) Conduct constituting appointment of agent for service. If a person, including a nonresident of this state, engages in an act, practice, or course of business prohibited or made actionable by this chapter or a rule adopted or an order issued under this chapter and the person has not filed a consent to service of process under subsection (a) of this section, the act, practice, or course of business constitutes the appointment of the administrator as the person's agent for service of process in a noncriminal action or proceeding against the person or the person's successor or personal representative.

(c) Procedure for service of process. Service under subsection (a) or (b) of this section may be made by providing a copy of the process to the office of the administrator, but it is not effective unless:

(d) Service in administrative proceedings or civil actions by administrator. Service pursuant to subsection (c) of this section may be used in a proceeding before the administrator or by the administrator in a civil action in which the administrator is the moving party.

(e) Opportunity to defend. If process is served under subsection (c) of this section, the court, or the administrator in a proceeding before the administrator, shall order continuances as are necessary or appropriate to afford the defendant or respondent reasonable opportunity to defend.
