It outlines how to respond through the internet using a Census ID, or alternatively by phone or paper forms. The script emphasizes that the census counts every person living in the United States and is constitutionally required every ten years. It also describes confidentiality protections under federal law and provides basic expectations for completion time and device options.","| ENGLISH SCRIPT | TRANSLATED SCRIPT |\n| --- | --- |\n\n\n| PART 1 |  |\n| --- | --- |\n| Welcome to the 2020 Census! |  |\n| This video will introduce you to the 2020 Census, present a quick overview of the online questionnaire, and help you answer the questions. |  |\n| The 2020 Census is a count of every person living in the United States. |  |\n| The census is required by the U.S. Constitution and takes place once every ten years. |  |\n| The 2020 Census is very important. Your responses help to determine the number of seats each state has in Congress, |  |\n| and guide how more than 675 billion dollars in federal funding is spent in communities each year. |  |\n| The 2020 Census is easy. Completing these questions only takes about 10 minutes. |  |\n| You can respond online from a computer, tablet, or mobile phone-24 hours a day. |  |\n\n\n| You can also respond over the phone, or using the paper questionnaire. |  |\n| --- | --- |\n| If you respond, we may not need to send a Census Bureau interviewer to visit you. An interviewer may still visit if you respond late, if we have follow-up questions, or for other surveys. |  |\n| Your information is confidential. |  |\n| Federal law protects your responses. Your answers can only be used to produce statistics and cannot be used against you by any government agency or court. |  |\n| PART 2 |  |\n| Now, we will take you on a quick tour of the internet questionnaire. Step-by-step instructions will be provided later in the video. |  |\n| When you visit “[my2020census.gov](my2020census.gov),” |  |\n| you will login using the Census ID from the materials that were mailed to you or left at your door. |  |\n| We will ask you to: confirm your address |  |\n| and provide your name and phone number. |  |\n\n\n| Next, we will ask you to count how many people will be living or staying at this address on April 1, 2020, |  |\n| --- | --- |\n| and list the name of each person who will be living or staying at your address. |  |\n| We will also remind you to include people that might have been missed. |  |\n| We will ask whether the home is owned or rented, |  |\n| and who owns or rents the home. |  |\n| We will ask each person about their: |  |\n| sex, |  |\n| date of birth and age, |  |\n| Hispanic, latino, or spanish origin, |  |\n| and race. |  |\n| When there is more than one person at an address, we will ask how they are related to the reference person. |  |\n\n\n| Finally, we will ask whether anyone sometimes stays at another address. |  |\n| --- | --- |\n| PART 3 |  |\n| If you’re ready to begin, go to “[my2020census.gov](my2020census.gov)”now. |  |\n| The online questionnaire is available in English and 12 non-English languages. To select a language, click on the globe icon and select the name of the language, or select the name of the language at the bottom of any screen.\u003Cbr>Don’t worry if you are looking for a language that isnot listed.

If you leave, you will have to start over. |  |\n| To begin, choose “Start Questionnaire.” |  |\n| First, enter your 12-digit Census ID. |  |\n| Your Census ID is on the materials that we mailed to your address or left at your door. |  |\n| If you do not have a Census ID, select the link below the login button and answer some additional questions about your address. You will still be able to respond. |  |\n\n\n| Then, confirm that you are completing the 2020 Census questionnaire for the address shown. |  |\n| --- | --- |\n| Select “Yes” for yes or “No” for no. |  |\n| If you will be staying at this address on April 1, choose yes.
