This National Certified Interpreter Registry includes certified interpreters who earned the CoreCHI, CoreCHI-P, or language-specific CHI credentials. Additionally, CCHI lists interpreters who have started their certification process and, at this point, have a “Candidate” status. Any "Candidate" status signifies that an interpreter is eligible to take a corresponding exam but has not taken it yet. Candidates, who have failed an exam, do not appear in the Registry until they successfully retake (pass) it.

“Primary language” means the interpreter’s working language for which CCHI has verified their language proficiency at the level meeting CCHI’s requirements.

For a detailed description of any status and to see the certification issuance/expiration date, click on the “Download verification” link next to a person’s name.

Search Tips:

• Please use the state abbreviations (CA, MI, etc.).
• “Primary language” means the interpreter’s working language for which they seek the CHI™ oral performance certification.
• Keep in mind that it’s the interpreter’s choice to allow CCHI to display their email address. CCHI honors its customers’ privacy choices.
