Locating an Interpreter

Hiring an interpreter for your communication needs can be a daunting task. NorCRID allows referral agencies to join as organizational members and be listed here on our website. An interpreter referral agency can guide you through the process of getting your communication needs met. NorCRID does not endorse any particular agency above another. Organizational members are listed in alphabetical order. You are encouraged to call several until you to find the one that meets your particular needs best. Most agencies serve a wide area, thus their address does not necessarily indicate areas served. Click here to view organizational members.

If you would like to hire an interpreter directly, please read the following information as a way to begin to educate yourself.

Resources to read before searching for an interpreter:

You can locate interpreters directly by searching the data base of our parent organization, The Registry of Interpreters for the Deaf, by visiting www.RID.org or by looking in our member directory. Click here for information on purchasing the NorCRID Directory.

Alternatively you may describe your communication needs in an email and post it to the NorCRID list, which is a free Yahoo group that many interpreters in the Bay Area and beyond subscribe to.

Some guidelines for posting a call for interpreters:

State the desired date, time and duration of the assignment. If you are flexible on these items, indicate that.
State the location. (The exact address is not necessary, especially if it would compromise confidentiality)
Briefly describe the communication event. Is it a one-on-one meeting, an recurring class, a conference? Does it take place outside, on a stage? How many Deaf people are expected to participate?
State the preferred mode of communication of the Deaf person(s) if known.
DO NOT disclose any identifying or personal information regarding the Deaf person(s), including their name(s).
Be sure to include as much information about how to contact you as you are comfortable.
