How service must be made:

cashier, managing agent or resident agent. However, if this is not possible, then upon the Secretary of State in the
manner described in Rule 4 of the Nevada Rules of Civil Procedure.

be made upon the respondent personally, or by leaving copies at his dwelling house or usual place of abode with some
person of suitable age and discretion then residing therein, or by delivering a copy of the summons and complaint to
an agent authorized by appointment or by law to receive service of process.
• If all the above are not possible because of the absence from the state or inability to locate the respondent: An
Affidavit of Due Diligence can be provided to the Division. If the Division determines adequate efforts were
made to serve the respondent(s), the Division will provide a letter to the claimants acknowledging their
unsuccessful efforts to participate in the ADR program.
