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.

Apostille Agent: common questions in Illinois

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 commission is needed, because agents don't notarize.

Is there steady work in Illinois?

That depends on demand; no volume is promised.
