Apostille Agent: common questions in Minnesota
How is this different from court runs?
The work is county clerk and apostille office runs, not courthouse filings. You can choose both on the form.
Do I need to be a notary?
No. Agents carry and submit documents; they never notarize or sign them.
How much apostille work is there in Minnesota?
It depends on client requests near your ZIP and the state office, and we can't promise any volume.
