Moreover, in another context, the legislature specifically has adopted the postmark date as the effective statutory date for filing documents where the mail is used for delivering documents to a state agency. Pursuant to General Statutes § 4-147, a notice of claim against the state is deemed filed “with the Office of the Claims Commissioner on the date such notice of claim is postmarked. . . ,”10 See also General Statutes § 4-150 (a) (service of subpoena or other papers upon claims commissioner is perfected as of postmark date). We also note that in our civil practice, service is completed upon mailing. See Practice Book § 10-13.11 Harmonizing the procedure for service of appeal papers in appeals from administrative decisions with our civil procedures, as we do in this case, will further advance the legislature’s *517intent “to provide the consumer who is using our administrative processes with the same kind of level playing field equity that one would have in using our judicial system.” 31 S. Proc., supra, p. 2482, remarks of Senator Maloney.
