What is the Registry for Accredited Freelance Court Interpreters?
Once you receive full or conditional accreditation, you will be listed on the ministry’s online Registry of Accredited Freelance Court Interpreters, which is available only to court staff. Your name will appear alongside your accredited language(s), your home address, your contact phone numbers, and your availability. When an interpretation assignment is required, courthouse staff will contact you by phone or e-mail to determine your availability. Note that as an accredited interpreter, it will be your responsibility to advise the ministry of any changes to your contact information, availability and/or ability to travel. When you are put on the registry you will be sent an identification card that identifies you as a freelance court interpreter. You must carry this identification card whenever you go to an assignment.
