Government language services questions, answered

Does Title VI require my agency to provide interpreters?

Yes if your agency receives federal financial assistance. Title VI of the Civil Rights Act prohibits discrimination on the basis of national origin in federally-funded programs and activities. Executive Order 13166 directed federal agencies and their state, local, and tribal grant recipients to implement Limited English Proficiency (LEP) language-access plans, which include qualified interpretation and translated vital documents.

Is AMS available for federal court interpretation under FCICE certification?

Yes. AMS supplies FCICE-certified (Federal Court Interpreter Certification Examination) Spanish court interpreters for U.S. District Courts, U.S. Immigration Court, U.S. Bankruptcy Courts, and federal administrative proceedings. For non-Spanish languages where federal certification does not exist, we supply court-registered or specially-qualified federal interpreters.

Can AMS handle large-volume, multi-language contract work for agencies?

Yes. AMS holds long-standing contracts with California state agencies, Caltrans, the City of Los Angeles, the LA City Attorney, San Diego City Attorney, the Port of Long Beach, and federal agencies including the Department of Justice and Department of Labor. We scale up and down to match agency volume and meet contract-specific reporting and security requirements.

Does AMS support GSA Schedule purchasing?

Inquire by contract; AMS's government practice is structured around standing agency relationships and direct procurement. For specific procurement vehicles, contact our government-contracts coordinator.

Can AMS translate Vital Documents for an agency's Language Access Plan?

Yes. Vital Documents translation (notices of rights, application forms, informational brochures, complaint procedures) is a core service. We coordinate the multi-language packet, ensure consistent terminology across languages, and deliver in the format the agency uses for distribution (PDF, accessible PDF, web-ready HTML).

Does AMS support ASL and effective communication under ADA Title II?

Yes. State and local government services covered by ADA Title II must provide effective communication for Deaf and hard-of-hearing constituents. AMS supplies RID-certified ASL interpreters across California and Nevada.
