A nonresident associate broker or qualifying broker shall file with the commission an irrevocable consent that lawsuits and actions may be commenced against the nonresident associate broker or qualifying broker in the proper court of any county of this state in which a cause of action may arise or in which the plaintiff may reside, by service on the commission of any process or pleadings authorized by the laws of this state, the consent stipulating and agreeing that such service of process or pleadings on the commission is as valid and binding as if personal service had been made upon the nonresident licensee in New Mexico. The instrument containing the consent shall be acknowledged and, if executed on behalf of a corporation or association, shall be accompanied by a certified copy of the resolution of the proper officers or managing board authorizing the executing officer to execute the instrument. Service of process or pleadings shall be served in duplicate upon the commission; one shall be filed in the office of the commission and the other immediately forwarded by certified mail to the main office of the nonresident licensee against whom the process or pleadings are directed.
