Frequently Asked Questions:

Q: How do I get an Interpreter/Transliterator License in Alabama?

Q: What if I am not yet nationally Certified by RID or NAD?

If you are not yet certified, you may obtain a PERMIT to interpret for pay in Alabama by submitting a completed application, documentation of a high school diploma or GED, current employment as an interpreter, and payment of the fee.
If you are not currently employed as an interpreter, but would like to begin working for pay you may obtain a nonrenewable provisional (temporary) permit to practice interpretation or transliteration upon the submission of the application, documentation of a high school diploma or GED, payment of the nonrefundable fee, and submission of three letters of recommendation from licensed interpreters that verify your skill level.
