FLBR Approves Time Extension for Certification Renewal

The Foreign Language Board of Review (FLBR), and the State Court Administrative Office (SCAO); approved MiTiN’s request to extend the due date for interpreters to present evidence of completion of the Continuous Educational Units (CEU’s) to December 31, 2020.

The SCAO will soon send a formal announcement to all registered interpreters with additional detailed information.  However, the main notions are:

• As in the past, a total of ten CEU’s will be required for the annual certification renewal.  Interpreters must submit their renewal request to the SCAO by September 1, 2020, with documentation of the CEU’s obtained up to that time. 
• If 10 CEU’s have not been obtained, interpreters will have until December 31, 2020, to complete and provide evidence of completion of their remaining CEU’s.   This change allows interpreters four additional months to complete the required 10 CEU’s.
