However, upon the filing of an affidavit by\nthe plaintiff that he does not know and is unable with due diligence to\nascertain any post-office address of such nonresident, service of process on the\nstatutory agent shall be sufficient without the mailing otherwise required by\nthis section. Provided further that:\n\n 1. In the case of a nonresident defendant licensed by the Commonwealth to\n operate a motor vehicle, the last address reported by such defendant to the\n Department of Motor Vehicles as his address on an application for or renewal\n of driving privileges shall be deemed to be the address of the defendant for\n the purpose of the mailing required by this section if no other address is\n known, and, in any case in which the affidavit provided for in § 8.01-316\n is filed, such a defendant, by so notifying the Department of such an address,\n and by failing to notify the Department of any change therein, shall be deemed\n to have appointed the Commissioner of the Department of Motor Vehicles his\n statutory agent for service of process in an action arising out of operation\n of a motor vehicle by him in the Commonwealth, and to have accepted as valid\n service such mailing to such address; or\n\n 2. In the case of a nonresident defendant not licensed by the Commonwealth to\n operate a motor vehicle, the address shown on the copy of the report of\n accident required by § 46.2-372 filed by or for him with the Department,\n and on file at the office of the Department, or the address reported by such a\n defendant to any state or local police officer, or sheriff investigating the\n accident sued on, if no other address is known, shall be conclusively presumed\n to be a valid address of such defendant for the purpose of the mailing\n provided for in this section, and his so reporting of an incorrect address, or\n his moving from the address so reported without making provision for\n forwarding to him of mail directed thereto, shall be deemed to be a waiver of\n notice and a consent to and acceptance of service of process served upon the\n Commissioner of the Department of Motor Vehicles as provided in this section.\n\nB. For the statutory agent appointed pursuant to § 64.2-1426, the address\nfor the mailing of process as required by § 8.01-312 shall be the address\nof the fiduciary’s statutory agent as contained in the written consent\nmost recently filed with the clerk of the circuit court wherein the\nqualification of such fiduciary was had or, in the event of the death, removal,\nresignation, or absence from the Commonwealth of such statutory agent, or in the\nevent that such statutory agent cannot with due diligence be found at such\naddress, the address of the clerk of such circuit court.\n\nC.
