Apostille Agent: common questions in South Carolina
Is this the same as the court runner role?
The work is county clerk and apostille office runs, not courthouse filings. You can choose both on the form.
Will I notarize anything?
No. Agents carry and submit documents; they never notarize or sign them.
Is there steady work in South Carolina?
That depends on demand; no volume is promised.
