Ohio court runner questions
Is serving part of this role?
No. Court runners only file, pull records and carry documents. Serving is a separate role with its own requirements.
Do I need a vehicle registration in Ohio?
No upload is needed for runners: a driver's license, auto insurance and a background check (or an approved waiver) are enough.
Is there steady work in Ohio?
It depends on client requests near your ZIP, and we can't promise any volume.
