Travel Agency
MICHAEL A. MAURO
Consent to
Secretary of State
Service of Process
State of Iowa
Iowa Code chapter 9D requires a travel agency application to be accompanied by a written irrevocable consent to service of
process. All travel agencies, domestic or foreign, must complete this Consent to Service of Process and return it with the
application, whether a new registration or a renewal registration.
Through the Consent to Service of Process the travel agency, in return for being granted the right to conduct business as a travel
agency in the state of Iowa, agrees to:
(a) designate the Secretary of State, as agent for the travel agency, for the purpose of accepting service of any
legal documents, and
(b) submit to the jurisdiction of the courts of Iowa for resolution of any legal proceedings arising from operation
of the travel agency.
The Travel Agency, ______________________________________ , hereby grants irrevocable consent to the
Secretary of State pursuant to Iowa Code chapter 9D to act as an agent upon whom any process, notice or demand
in connection with any business this travel agency may conduct in or from the state of Iowa may be served. I further
acknowledge that actions in connection with doing business in the state of Iowa may be commenced against the travel
agency in the proper jurisdiction in Iowa in which the cause of action may arise, or in which the plaintiff may reside,
by service of process on the secretary as the travel agency's agent and stipulate and agree that such service of process
shall be taken and held by all courts to be as valid and binding as if service of process had been made upon the travel
agency according to the laws of Iowa or any other state.
