(2) If, in the determination of the board, the applicant's jurisdiction of practice specified in an application for credentialing meets or exceeds the requirements of this state, and that jurisdiction is determined to be in compliance with Title XI of the Financial Institutions Reform, Recovery, and Enforcement Act of 1989, an applicant of such jurisdiction may, through reciprocity, become credentialed under the Real Property Appraiser Act.

(b) Submit an irrevocable consent that service of process upon him or her may be made by delivery of the process to the director of the board if the plaintiff cannot, in the exercise of due diligence, effect personal service upon the applicant in an action against the applicant in a court of this state arising out of the applicant's activities as a real property appraiser in this state; and

(c) Comply with such other terms and conditions as may be determined by the board.
