§ 508A.07 NONRESIDENT APPLICANT; AGENT.

If not a resident of the state, the applicant shall file for record with the county recorder a written agreement, duly executed and acknowledged, appointing an agent residing in the state. The applicant shall state in it the full name and post office address of this agent and agree in it that the service of any legal process in proceedings under or growing out of any application shall be of the same legal effect when made on this agent as if made on the applicant within the state. If the agent so appointed dies or removes from the state, the applicant shall at once appoint another agent in like manner and, if failing so to do, the examiner of titles may dismiss the application. In any subsequent application made, the applicant may refer to the written authority so recorded, provided it is sufficiently comprehensive to include the subsequent application.
