1. No licensee shall transact business until it shall have first appointed in writing the superintendent as agent of the licensee for service of process in this state. Service upon the superintendent or, in the superintendent's absence, any employee in charge of the superintendent's office, shall be of the same legal force and validity as if served upon any licensee under this chapter.
2. Whenever lawful process against any licensee shall be served upon the superintendent, two copies shall be furnished and the superintendent shall forthwith forward a copy of the process served on the superintendent, by certified mail, postpaid and directed to the licensee. For each service of process the sum of two dollars shall be collected, which shall be paid by the plaintiff at the time of such service, the same to be recovered by the plaintiff as part of the taxable costs, if the plaintiff prevails in the suit.
