What you'll do

## What a court runner does for us

- Over-the-counter filings at the clerk's window, with the stamped copy scanned back the same day when the office allows
- Pulling court files, deeds and other public records, and scanning them
- Embassy and consulate legalization runs where the request calls for them (most are in Washington, DC)
- Marking each run complete in the portal and uploading fee receipts

Requirements

## What we require

- 18 or older, with a valid driver's license
- Auto insurance in force; runners don't upload a vehicle registration
- A background check under 12 months old (established businesses may request a waiver, which the owner reviews; it is never automatic)
- A phone that takes photos and receives texts and email
- You don't serve papers in this role, so no server license or commission is needed
