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 Charlotte, Raleigh and Greensboro or a smaller town in North Carolina. We don't guarantee any number of jobs.

North Carolina apostille agent questions
Is this the same as the court runner role?
It's a separate posting for apostille work only. You can add court runs on the application if you want both.
Do I need to be a notary?
No. If a document needs notarizing, that happens before the run, by someone else.
How much apostille work is there in North Carolina?
It depends on client requests near your ZIP and the state office, and we can't promise any volume.
