P.R. Laws tit. 26, § 327
(1) Each authorized foreign insurer and each domestic reciprocal and Lloyd’s insurer shall appoint the Commissioner as its attorney-in-fact to receive service of legal process against it in Puerto Rico. The appointment shall be irrevocable, shall bind any successor in interest or successor to the assets or liabilities of the insurer, and shall remain in effect as long as there is in force in Puerto Rico any contract made by the insurer, or obligation arising therefrom.
(2) Service of such process upon such an insurer may be made either upon the agent of the insurer designated for the purpose pursuant to § 317(1)(i) of this title (if a foreign insurer), upon the insurer’s attorney-in-fact (if a domestic reciprocal or domestic Lloyd’s plan insurer), or upon the Commissioner. As to such insurers, service of process shall be had only as provided in this subsection.
As to insurers formerly authorized to transact insurance in Puerto Rico, such service of process may be made upon the Commissioner.
Process served as provided in this subsection shall be deemed effective service thereof upon the insurer.
