28-4078. Certificate by nonresident
A. A nonresident owner of a motor vehicle that is not registered in this state may
give proof of financial responsibility by filing with the director a written certificate
of an insurance carrier authorized to transact business in the state in which the motor
vehicle described in the certificate is registered, or if the nonresident does not own a
motor vehicle, in the state in which the insured resides, if the certificate otherwise
conforms with this chapter. The director shall accept the certificate on the condition
that the insurance carrier complies with the following provisions with respect to the
policies certified:
1. The insurance carrier shall execute a power of attorney authorizing the director
to accept service on its behalf of notice or process in an action arising out of a motor
vehicle accident in this state.
2. The insurance carrier shall agree in writing that the policies shall be deemed
to conform with the laws of this state relating to the terms of motor vehicle liability
policies issued in this state.
B. If an insurance carrier that is not authorized to transact business in this
state and that is qualified to furnish proof of financial responsibility defaults in any
such undertaking or agreement, the director shall not accept a certificate of the carrier
as proof whether filed before the default or tendered as proof after the default, as long
as the default continues.
