Certified interpreters and translation services in Long Beach.
AMS supplies certified interpreters and translators throughout Long Beach and southeast Los Angeles County, dispatched from our Los Angeles headquarters. Long Beach is the 7th-largest city in California and a major port and logistics hub on San Pedro Bay, and one of the most linguistically diverse cities in the country. Its communities are exceptionally varied: a large Spanish-speaking population across North, Central and West Long Beach (Latino residents make up roughly 44 percent of the city), the nation's most prominent Cambodian community along the officially designated Cambodia Town corridor on Anaheim Street, and a substantial Filipino community, the largest Asian group in the city, concentrated in West Long Beach. We coordinate court, medical, and document work for the Governor George Deukmejian Courthouse, MemorialCare Long Beach Medical Center, and the trade, aerospace, and healthcare employers that drive the local economy.

Long Beach interpreting and translation questions
Does AMS supply interpreters to the Long Beach courthouse?
Yes. AMS supplies certified court interpreters to the Superior Court of California, County of Los Angeles at the Governor George Deukmejian Courthouse (South District) at 275 Magnolia Avenue, Long Beach, which serves Long Beach, Signal Hill, Catalina Island, San Pedro, Wilmington, and Harbor City, as well as the Long Beach Juvenile Court and the Stanley Mosk Courthouse civil hub in downtown Los Angeles.
Which federal court covers Long Beach, and does AMS interpret there?
Long Beach falls within the Western Division of the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California, which sits at the Edward R. Roybal Federal Building and U.S. Courthouse, 255 East Temple Street, Los Angeles. AMS supplies federally qualified and FCICE-certified Spanish interpreters for matters at that venue.
Where are immigration hearings for Long Beach residents held?
There is no EOIR immigration court in Long Beach. Removal and asylum matters are heard at the Los Angeles-area EOIR courts, principally the North Los Angeles Street Immigration Court at 300 North Los Angeles Street, with additional courts on Van Nuys Boulevard and in West Los Angeles; many hearings are conducted by video. AMS provides interpreters and certified translations for these proceedings.
Can AMS provide Khmer (Cambodian) interpreters in Long Beach?
Yes. Long Beach has the largest Cambodian community outside Southeast Asia, centered on the officially designated Cambodia Town along Anaheim Street between Atlantic and Junipero Avenues. AMS coordinates qualified Khmer interpreters for court, medical, and community work. Because the Khmer pool is specialized, advance notice is helpful.
