Court runner · Colorado
Court runner jobs in Colorado
If you can get to the courthouses and records offices around Denver, Colorado Springs and Aurora, you can run filings and records for us in Colorado, without serving anyone.
Our office is in Cranford, New Jersey, and our contractor network is open in every state, Colorado included.
The work
What a court runner does for us
- Over-the-counter filings at the clerk's window, with the stamped copy scanned back the same day when the office allows
- Records retrieval: case files, recorded deeds and similar public records, copied and scanned
- Embassy and consulate document runs, which are mostly in Washington, DC
- Recording each trip in the portal, with receipts for any fees paid at the window
What you need
Requirements in Colorado
- 18 or older, with a valid driver's license
- Proof of auto insurance (registration is asked of process servers only)
- A background check from the last 12 months; an established business can instead ask the owner to waive it, with its name and a link to its reviews
- A smartphone, for offers, scans and portal uploads
- You don't serve papers in this role, so no server license or commission is needed
