1. Service of process against an insurer for whom the Commissioner is attorney must be made by delivering to and leaving with the Commissioner, the Commissioner’s deputy, or a person in apparent charge of the office of the Commissioner during the Commissioner’s absence, two copies of the process, together with the fee therefor as specified in NRS 680B.010, taxable as costs in the action.
2. Upon such service the Commissioner shall forthwith mail by certified mail one of the copies of such process, with the date and time of service of the same on the Commissioner noted thereon, to the person currently designated by the insurer to receive the copy as provided in NRS 680A.250. Service of process is complete when the copy has been so mailed.
