Below are the guidelines set by the Louisiana Supreme Court.

• Registered court interpreter in Louisiana must meet certain requirements.  They must pass the required examinations, complete a two day training course, comply with Part G, Section 14 of the General Administrative Rules for all Louisiana Courts: The Code of Professional Responsibility for Language Interpreters, and also pass a background check.
• Certified interpreter must meet even more requirements.  They must first be a registered court interpreter and must pass the National Center of State Court Oral Certification Examination.  They have also tested skills in simultaneous and consecutive court interpreting as well as in sight translation and have scored a 70% or better on each testing section.
• American Sign Language interpreters are not required to take the written translation examination.  Instead, they will need to provide proof of a valid Specialist Certificate Legal or a national generalist certificate from the Registry of Interpreters for the Deaf.
