The Maryland Request for Spoken Language Interpreter is a form used to request certified language interpreting services in Maryland. It is used when an individual does not have access to someone who can understand and interpret their spoken language. The form must be completed in order to be eligible for services and is available in English and Spanish. There are two types of Maryland Request for Spoken Language Interpreter: the Request for Interpreter form (for court hearings and other proceedings), and the Request for Interpreter/Translator form (for medical, legal, and other services). Both forms must be filled out and submitted prior to any interpretation services being provided. The form should include the name of the interpreter, the language requested, the date/time/place of the service, a description of the services required, and any other relevant information. Once the form is completed, it should be submitted to the appropriate agency or organization. In order to qualify for interpreting services, the interpreter must be certified by the Maryland State Department of Education, or a nationally recognized certification program. This ensures that the interpreter is qualified to provide accurate and professional interpretation services.
