Service outside Nevada
Section 14.065 requires personal service on a foreign corporation through its president, other head, secretary, cashier, managing agent, or resident agent.
Certain-Teed Products Corp. v. Second Judicial District Court · filed 1971-01-26(1)(a)
This means that a foreign corporation, not qualified to do business in Nevada, but alleged to have transacted business here, may be served with process under NRS 14.065 by delivering a copy of the summons and complaint in the foreign jurisdiction to the president or other head of the corporation, secretary, cashier, managing agent, or resident agent thereof.Read the full opinion on CourtListener →
Section 14.065 provides a basis for serving process on defendants outside Nevada.
Franklin v. Bartsas Realty, Inc. · filed 1979-08-21
This contention, not raised below, is meritless. Process was served in accordance with Nevada’s long-arm statute NRS 14.065, and thus is governed by NRCP 4(e)(3), and was therefore valid.Read the full opinion on CourtListener →

Orme v. Eighth Judicial District Court · filed 1989-11-27(1)(a)

We agree.Read the full opinion on CourtListener →
Section 14.065 requires personal service on an out-of-state defendant; service by mail is ineffective even if the defendant receives notice.
Campbell v. Gasper · filed 1984-05-18
Nevada’s long-arm statute, NRS 14.065, prescribes that personal service shall suffice, the service to be made by delivering a copy of the summons, together with a copy of the complaint, to the party served. ... Where the State statute is specific that personal service is required on a defendant who resides outside Nevada, a substituted form of service is ineffective. ... Since the insufficiency of service on Defendant has left this Court without personal jurisdiction over him, the default entered against him on October 6, 1983, must be vacated.Read the full opinion on CourtListener →
Section 14.065 does not authorize service on a foreign corporation through its domestic subsidiary.

Section 14.065(2) allows Nevada courts to exercise jurisdiction over a nonresident for a claim arising from the nonresident’s lease and use of a vehicle in Nevada.
Hertz Corporation v. Domergue · filed 1974-04-22(2)
The execution of the lease contract and the ensuing use of the leased vehicle on the streets and highways of Nevada were not such a "single and isolated" contact with that state as to prevent jurisdiction of the Nevada court from attaching in a suit based substantially upon, directly connected with, incidental to, and arising out of these acts. Such jurisdiction did not, of course, attach generally, and was restricted to such causes of action as might have been substantially connected with, incidental to, or which arose out of, Domergue's acts in Nevada.Read the full opinion on CourtListener →

Abbott v. Second Judicial District Court · filed 1974-08-29(2)(a)
In cases of this sort it is the cumulative significance of all the activities conducted in the jurisdiction rather than the isolated effect of any single activity that is determinative. Melvin Pine & Co., supra. The contacts with Nevada fulfill our criteria pronounced in Certain-Teed, supra. We need not concern ourselves at this point with deciding whether or not the signing of the note in California constituted "negotiating any commercial paper within this state" under NRS 14.065(2)(a).Read the full opinion on CourtListener →

Court of Nev., 104 Nev. 424, 426, 760 P.2d 137, 138, (1988).1 ... Here, Whitted has not shown that OCERS engaged in any affirmative activities or transactions within Nevada which would show that OCERS purposefully availed itself of the forum-state, Nevada. See id. at 851. Nor has Whitted shown that her action against OCERS arises out of its contacts with Nevada. See id. at 853.

First, "Nevada's long-arm statute, NRS 14.065, reaches the limits of due process set by the United States Constitution." ... For the reasons discussed above, we conclude that Arbella purposefully availed itself of the Nevada forum by way of its policy's territory clause.

Because Nevada’s long arm statute by its terms extends personal jurisdiction over defendants to the limits of the state and federal constitutions, see Nev.Rev.Stat. § 14.065(1), and because the Nevada Constitution does not appear to impose any restrictions on the exercise of personal jurisdiction beyond those imposed by the Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment, see Nev.

DAVIS VS. DIST. CT. (DAVIS) C/W 68542 · filed 2017-05-25
Accepting a role as an ITA manifests a defendant's purposeful availment of the privilege of acting in Nevada; where, as here, a suit arises out of a nonresident defendant's role as an ITA, the exercise of specific personal jurisdiction would satisfy the requirements of Nevada's long-arm statute, as well as traditional notions of fair play and substantial justice.Read the full opinion on CourtListener →
