Questions about court runner work in Virginia
Do court runners serve papers?
Never. Serving papers is the process server role; runners file and retrieve.

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