Examination Reciprocity
Oregon allows examination reciprocity for registered court interpreters who want to pursue an Oregon court interpreter credential and have taken an interpreting exam or proficiency interview in another state. Examination reciprocity will be awarded to candidates that have achieved an appropriate score on the:
- Oral Proficiency Interview (OPI) for English and Non-English Language; or
- English Language Skills Proficiency Examination.
Once an interpreter has been granted examination reciprocity, they must meet the other credential requirements outlined the State Court Administrator Policies for the Oregon Judicial Department's Oregon Certified Court Interpreter Program.
