FAQs

Do you provide on-site and remote interpreters for depositions in San Diego?
Yes. We staff on-site interpreters across San Diego County as well as remote video and telephone interpreters for depositions, examinations under oath, and witness preparation. For multi-party or multi-day matters we place the same interpreter throughout so terminology stays consistent. Tell us the venue, language, and dates and we will confirm coverage.

Can you provide simultaneous interpretation with equipment for a San Diego conference or board meeting?
Yes. We provide simultaneous interpreters with booths, receivers, and headsets for conferences, summits, board meetings and trade shows at the San Diego Convention Center, UTC and Sorrento Valley biotech campuses, and Downtown hotel venues, plus consecutive interpreters for smaller sessions and negotiations. We coordinate the equipment and the interpreter team together. Share the agenda, languages, and audience size at /get-a-quote/.

Are your certified San Diego document translations accepted by USCIS and the courts?
Yes. Our certified translations are accepted by California courts, USCIS, and government agencies, and each comes with a signed certificate of accuracy. We translate legal filings, immigration paperwork, medical records, and business contracts for San Diego law firms, healthcare organizations, and corporate teams. You get the turnaround in writing with your quote, so the delivery date is agreed before any work starts.

How quickly can you provide an interpreter in San Diego?
San Diego is served from our Southern California roster, one of our deepest, so most scheduled assignments are confirmed within the same week and remote work sooner. For standard assignments we recommend 48 hours' notice for the best match. Check availability or call (833) 547-7770.

What languages are most requested in San Diego?
The most requested languages in San Diego include Spanish (Mexican and Central American), Tagalog, Vietnamese, Arabic, Chaldean, Farsi, Korean, Mandarin, Somali, Japanese. We cover 200+ languages in total, including the community languages that appear in San Diego County legal and medical work more often each year.

Yes. Our interpreters are familiar with the Southern District of California at the Schwartz and Carter-Keep courthouses, and San Diego County Superior Court at the Central, North County, East County and South County branches, the local rules, and courtroom protocols.

Do your interpreters handle cross-border matters with Tijuana and Baja California?
