ASL Interpretation

Hire an ASL Interpreter

American Sign Language interpreters for depositions, hearings, corporate meetings, training sessions and public events. ASL is credentialed through RID rather than the court interpreter registries, so the qualification question is a different one and we answer it before the assignment.

Why Kaplan

ASL Interpreting Staffed for the Setting, Not Just the Language

RID Certification, Not a Court Registry

ASL interpreters are credentialed through the Registry of Interpreters for the Deaf, so a state court interpreter list will not tell you whether someone is qualified. We confirm the certification that matches the setting before the assignment is booked.

Team Interpreting for Long Assignments

Signing is physically sustained work and accuracy falls off after roughly twenty minutes alone. Depositions, full-day trainings and conferences are staffed with two interpreters who switch, which is standard practice rather than an upcharge decision made on the day.

Certified Deaf Interpreters Where Needed

Some deaf individuals use regional signs, home sign or limited formal ASL, and a hearing interpreter alone will not reach them. A Certified Deaf Interpreter works alongside the hearing interpreter. We raise this at intake rather than discovering it once testimony has started.

FAQs

Common Questions About ASL Interpretation

How are ASL interpreters certified, and why does it matter?

ASL interpreters are credentialed through the Registry of Interpreters for the Deaf, not through the state court interpreter registries that govern spoken languages. A court certified list will not answer whether an ASL interpreter is qualified, so we confirm the specific certification against the setting before booking.

Why do you send two ASL interpreters for longer assignments?

Signing is physically sustained work and accuracy declines after roughly twenty minutes of solo work. Depositions, full-day trainings and conferences are staffed as a team who switch at intervals. This is standard practice for the profession rather than a decision made on the day.

What is a Certified Deaf Interpreter and when is one needed?

A Certified Deaf Interpreter is a deaf professional who works alongside the hearing interpreter. They are needed when the deaf individual uses regional signs, home sign, or has limited formal ASL, which a hearing interpreter alone may not reach. We raise this at intake rather than after testimony has begun.

Do you provide ASL interpreters for depositions and hearings?

Yes. Legal ASL work requires interpreters familiar with deposition conventions, read-back and the record. See deposition interpreters for how we prepare from the exhibit list and case glossary.

Can ASL interpreting be done remotely?

Yes, through video remote interpreting, and it works well for meetings and shorter consultations. Sightlines, framing and connection quality matter more than for spoken languages, so we confirm the platform and camera setup in advance. Long or legally sensitive assignments are usually better onsite.

Do you cover ASL for workplace accommodation and training?

Yes. Employee training, onboarding, HR meetings and workplace accommodation are common ASL assignments. See corporate interpreters for how these are staffed.

How much notice do you need for an ASL interpreter?

ASL benches are regional and team assignments need two interpreters, so we ask for more notice than a single-interpreter booking, ideally a week for onsite legal work. Check availability or call (833) 547-7770. For sign language across all settings see the ASL language page.
