Indiana Code Title 27. Insurance § 27-1-27-5

Sec. 5.  (a) The commissioner may not issue a certificate of authority to a nonresident applicant until that nonresident files with the commissioner, in a form prescribed by the commissioner, a designation of an individual resident of Indiana, a corporate resident of Indiana, or an authorized Indiana insurer as the nonresident applicant's legal representative upon whom may be served all lawful process in any action, suit, or proceeding:

(b) The designation required by subsection (a) constitutes an agreement that service of process upon the nonresident applicant's legal representative is of the same legal force and validity as personal service of process upon an Indiana resident.

(c) Service upon a nonresident may be made by serving the nonresident applicant's legal representative with an appropriate number of copies of the process.

(d) The nonresident applicant's legal representative shall forward a copy of the process by registered mail to the nonresident at his last known address of record or principal place of business, keeping a record of such process and service.

(e) Service of process is sufficient as long as notice of the service and a copy of the process are sent not more than ten (10) days after the nonresident applicant's legal representative received the service of process on behalf of the nonresident.

(f) Service of process upon a nonresident in any action instituted by the commissioner under this chapter shall be made by the commissioner by mailing the process to the nonresident applicant's legal representative or the nonresident by registered mail at his last known address of record or principal place of business.
