Apostille agent jobs in Ohio
This is document-run work in Ohio: county clerk certifications where needed, then the state apostille office, then the finished documents back to the client.
Our office is in Cranford, New Jersey, and our contractor network is open in every state, Ohio included.
The work
Apostille Agent duties in Ohio
- Collecting the client's documents and checking the list against the job before you go
- Stopping at the county clerk for the certification step where a document needs one
- Submitting the request at the Secretary of State (walk-in, drop-off or mail, as the job says) and paying the state fee
- Delivering the completed apostilles and logging receipts and tracking numbers in the portal
Requirements
What we require
- 18 or older, with a valid driver's license
- Auto insurance in force
- A background check under 12 months old (established businesses may ask the owner to waive it; never automatic)
- Treating every original as irreplaceable: no staples removed, no folds, no loose pages
- You don't notarize in this role, so no commission is needed
Pay

Apostille Agent: common questions in Ohio
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.
Will I notarize anything?
No. If a document needs notarizing, that happens before the run, by someone else.
How many runs will I get in Ohio?
That depends on demand; no volume is promised.
