Louisiana Revised Statutes Tit. 22, § 1670. Nonresident claims adjuster license reciprocity

(1) The person is currently licensed as a resident claims adjuster, and if an individual has passed a claims adjuster examination, and is in good standing in the home state. If the home state does not require examinations then the individual shall pass the examination provided for in R.S. 22:1668.

(3) The person has submitted or transmitted to the commissioner of insurance the appropriate completed application for licensure.

(4) The person's home state awards nonresident claims adjuster licenses to residents of this state on the same basis.

C. (1) The commissioner of insurance shall not issue a license to any nonresident applicant until such applicant has filed forms approved by the commissioner of insurance which designate the commissioner of insurance as his true and lawful agent, upon whom may be served all lawful process in any action, suit, or proceeding instituted by or on behalf of any interested person arising out of the applicant's business in this state. This designation shall constitute an agreement that such service of process has the same legal force and validity as personal service of process upon the person in the state.

(2) The service of process upon any such licensee in any action or proceeding in any court of competent jurisdiction may be made by a party serving the commissioner of insurance with appropriate copies thereof and the payment to him of a fee as authorized by R.S. 22:821.

(3) The commissioner of insurance shall, within ten days of being served, forward a copy of such process by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, to the nonresident claims adjuster licensee at his last known address of record or principal place of business, and the commissioner of insurance shall maintain copies of all such processes so served upon him.

(4) The service of process upon any such nonresident claims adjuster licensee in any action or proceeding instituted by the commissioner of insurance under this Part shall be made by the commissioner of insurance by mailing such process by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, to the licensee at his last known address of record or principal place of business.
