    § 160-m. Nonresident  certification  and licensing. 1. Every applicant
  for certification or licensing under this article who is not a  resident
  of  this  state  shall submit, with the application for certification or
  license, an irrevocable consent that service of process upon him or  her
  may  be made by delivery of the process to the secretary of state if, in
  an action against the applicant in a court of this state arising out  of
  the  applicant's  activities as a state certified real estate appraiser,
  or a state licensed real estate appraiser, the plaintiff cannot, in  the
  exercise of due diligence, effect personal service upon the applicant.
    2.  When  a nonresident of this state, certified or licensed under the
  laws of his resident state, the certification and licensing  process  of

  office for providing appraisal services to clients in  this  state,  and
  has complied with subdivision one of this section, such nonresident may,
  upon  recommendation  of the board, pursuant to such temporary licensing
  rules or regulations as the board may promulgate, provide  certified  or
  licensed  appraisals. No temporary certificate or license shall be valid
  for a duration greater than one year after the date of issue. Any person
  performing, or seeking to perform, federally related appraisals shall be
  liable for, and pay, all fees, rated proportionately, which would  apply
  to such person were he or she a resident of this state.
    3.  A  nonresident of this state who has complied with subdivision one
  of  this  section,  but  who  does  not  qualify  for  treatment   under

  certified real estate appraiser or a license as a  state  licensed  real
  estate  appraiser  by  conformity  to all the provisions of this article
  relating to state certified or licensed real estate appraisers.
    4. The board shall recognize on a temporary basis the certification or
  license of an appraiser issued by another state pursuant to section 1122
