(b) the applicant submits with the application an irrevocable consent appointing the executive director of the Board as agent for service of process as provided in Code of Ala. 1975, §34-27A-7(d)(3), if, in an action against the applicant in a court of this state arising out of the applicant's activities as a licensed or certified real estate appraiser, the plaintiff cannot, in the exercise of due diligence, effect personal service upon the applicant;

(c) the applicant agrees to be bound by all the provisions of the State of Alabama Real Estate Appraisers Act, and submits to the jurisdiction of the Board, and agrees to be subject to the investigations and disciplinary actions by the Board the same as Alabama resident real estate appraisers; and

(d) the applicant otherwise complies with the provisions of Alabama Real Estate Appraisers Act and the rules pertaining to the application and certification of resident real estate appraisers.
