Annual Renewal and Compliance Period

In accordance with California Government Code § 68562, all spoken language interpreters must meet annual renewal and continuing education and professional assignment requirements established by the Judicial Council of California. Official notification and Annual Renewal packets are e-mailed annually, in September, to all interpreters currently enrolled on the Judicial Council’s Master List of Certified Court and Registered Interpreters. If an e-mail address is not on file, or bounced  back, the annual renewal packets are sent via US mail. In order to insure that you receive notification, please make sure that your e-mail address is current. Annual renewal packets were sent on September 13, 2017. The deadline for the Judicial Council to receive interpreter annual renewal fees and paperwork, without penalty is: FRIDAY, DECEMBER 29, 2017

An interpreter’s failure to provide his or her current mailing address and e-mail address does not exempt an interpreter from fulfilling any compliance requirements. If your contact information has changed please mail the CIP Contact Update Form to the address provided.
