Documents

We ask for these with the application so we can approve you without a back-and-forth, and so you won't upload them again later. Upload a clear PDF, JPG or PNG of each one, up to 10 MB. Only our office can open them. Our system checks the dates you enter and that each file is here; it doesn't read the files, so make sure the dates match. Your W-9 comes later, in the portal.

If you run an established business, enter its name above and a link to its reviews here, and leave the background check blank. The owner looks at it and decides whether to waive the check; it is never automatic, so your application waits for a person.

Tennessee court runner questions

Is serving part of this role?

No. That is the process server posting; this one is filings, records and document runs only.

Do I need a vehicle registration in Tennessee?

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 Tennessee?

That depends on demand near you; no volume is promised.
