13-11-6. Service of process.
In addition to any other method provided by rule or statute, personal jurisdiction over a
supplier may be acquired in a civil action or proceeding instituted in the district court by the
service of process in the following manner. If a supplier engages in any act or practice in this
state governed by this act, or engages in a consumer transaction subject to this act, he may
designate an agent upon whom service of process may be made in this state. The agent must be a
resident of or a corporation authorized to do business in this state. The designation must be in
writing and filed with the Division of Corporations and Commercial Code. If no designation is
made and filed, or if process cannot be served in this state upon the designated agent, whether or
not the supplier is a resident of this state or is authorized to do business in this state, process may
be served upon the director of the Division of Corporations and Commercial Code, but service
upon him is not effective unless the plaintiff promptly mails a copy of the process and pleadings
by registered or certified mail to the defendant at his last reasonably ascertainable address. An
affidavit of compliance with this section must be filed with the clerk of the court on or before the
return day of the process, if any, or within any future time the court allows.
