The work
What a court runner does for us
- Filing papers at county and city clerks' windows and returning the stamped (conformed) copies
- Records retrieval: case files, recorded deeds and similar public records, copied and scanned
- Embassy and consulate document runs, which are mostly in Washington, DC
- Marking each run complete in the portal and uploading fee receipts
What you need
To work as a court runner
- 18 or older, with a valid driver's license
- Auto insurance in force; runners don't upload a vehicle registration
- A background check under 12 months old (established businesses may request a waiver, which the owner reviews; it is never automatic)
- A smartphone, for offers, scans and portal uploads
- No notary commission and no process server license: runners never serve papers
Pay
How pay works
Each job shows its pay up front, in dollars, before you commit. Take it, pass, or make a counter-offer; passing never counts against you.
Jobs are offered one at a time, as clients ask, to contractors whose travel radius covers the address, whether near Boston, Worcester and Springfield or a smaller town in Massachusetts. We don't guarantee any number of jobs.
This is 1099 independent contractor work.
