Interpreter Certification American Sign Language/English interpreters and oral/cued speech transliterators that work for Minnesota school districts need a current certificate in order to be reimbursed for their work. School districts may create additional requirements for interpreters and transliterators. Interpreters and transliterators must meet these four criteria: 1. Have one of the following certificates: a current certificate from the Registry of Interpreters of the Deaf, a general level interpreter proficiency certificate from the National Association of the Deaf, a comparable state certificate given be the commission of education, or a provisional certificate from the commissioner of education. 2. Successfully complete a training program by an accredited school. 3. Have a qualified interpreter as a mentor if the interpreter/transliterator is just provisionally certified. 4. Transliterators must have a current certificate from the national certifying association or a certificate from an equivalent state association.
