North Dakota Century Code Title 26.1. Insurance § 26.1-02-15. Filing and status of foreign decrees

A certified copy of any foreign decree may be filed in the office of the clerk of any district court of this state and concurrently in the office of the commissioner with information showing which district court is being used. The clerk, upon receiving verification from the commissioner, shall treat the foreign decree in the same manner as a decree of the district court. A filed foreign decree has the same effect as a decree of a district court of this state, and is subject to the same procedures, defenses, and proceedings for reopening, vacating, or staying as a decree of a district court and may be enforced or satisfied in like manner.
