§ 45:22a-19.
(a) In addition to the methods of service provided for in the rules governing the
New Jersey Courts, service may be made by delivering a copy of the process to the
office of the agency, but it is not effective unless the plaintiff, which may be the
agency in a proceeding instituted by it: (1) Forthwith sends a copy of the process and of the pleading by certified mail to
the defendant or respondent at his last known address, and (2) The plaintiff's affidavit of compliance with this section is filed in the case
on or before the return day of the process, if any, or within such further time as
the court allows. (b) If any person, including any nonresident of this State, engages in conduct prohibited
by this act or any rule or order hereunder, and has not filed a consent to service
of process and personal jurisdiction over him cannot otherwise be obtained in this
State, that conduct authorizes the agency to receive service of process in any noncriminal
proceeding against him or his successor which grows out of that conduct and which
is brought under this act or any rule or order hereunder, with the same force and
validity as if served on him personally. Notice shall be given as provided in subsection (a).
