Accordingly, persons are eligible to enter the program if they reside in or near enough to New Jersey to provide interpreting services to New Jersey's courts on a regular basis, or if they are in the process of moving to New Jersey and intend to regularly work as a court interpreter in New Jersey. Persons who reside at great distances from New Jersey are generally ineligible.  \nPersons who are already certified by the Administrative Office of the United States Courts need not take any additional examinations. Reciprocity is available to persons certified in other states so long as the test by which they were certified is a test developed by the National Center for State Courts (NCSC) . For further information on reciprocity, see the reciprocity policy available on our website.  \nCandidates are responsible for becoming familiar with the Court Interpreter Approval Program’s policies.

The written test is a product of the NCSC, and New Jersey administers the written test in a manner consistent with the NCSC’s guidelines. It is intended to help guide candidates to a successful testing experience.  \nCandidates are strongly urged to read this entire document carefully before completing the application at the end of this document.  \nWritten Exam Fee Policy  \nStarting in 2017, the written exam includes a $50 registration fee, which is due upon application.
