All notices and orders required to be given to any licensee under this article 2 must be provided through electronic notification or given in writing and, if mailed, postpaid by first-class mail to the licensee at the last-known address shown by the records kept by the department pursuant to this article 2. The mailing is sufficient notice in accord with the motor vehicle laws. Any notice or order of the department mailed first class under the provisions of this title 42 creates a presumption for administrative purposes that the notice or order was received if the department maintains a copy of the notice or order and maintains a certification that the notice or order was deposited in the United States mail by an employee of the department. Evidence of a copy of the notice mailed to the last-known address of the licensee, as shown by the records kept by the department pursuant to this article 2, and a certification of mailing by a department employee; evidence of delivery of notice in person to the last-known address of the licensee, as shown by the records kept by the department pursuant to this article 2; or evidence of personal service upon the licensee or upon an attorney appearing on the licensee's behalf of the order of denial, cancellation, suspension, or revocation of the license by the executive director of the department or by the executive director's duly authorized representative is prima facie proof that the licensee received personal notice of the denial, cancellation, suspension, or revocation.
