San Jose & Silicon Valley interpreting and translation questions
Does AMS supply interpreters to the Santa Clara County Superior Court?
Yes. AMS provides certified court interpreters for proceedings at the Santa Clara County Superior Court in San Jose, including its downtown civil, family, and criminal courthouses, as well as the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California at the Robert F. Peckham Federal Building. We also cover depositions and arbitrations held at law offices and private venues throughout Silicon Valley.
Can AMS staff depositions, EUOs, and IMEs in Silicon Valley?
Yes. Depositions, examinations under oath, independent medical examinations, and AME and QME panel appointments are core work for AMS in the South Bay. We assign interpreters experienced in the relevant legal or medical subject matter and can provide team interpreting for long or technical proceedings.
How do I schedule an interpreter, and how much lead time is needed?
You can request an interpreter online anytime or by calling our office during business hours. Earlier notice helps us match the right credential and dialect, particularly for less common languages, though we make every effort to cover short-notice and same-day requests when an interpreter is available.
Does AMS provide certified document translation for courts and USCIS?
Yes. We deliver certified translation of legal exhibits, USCIS filings, and vital records such as birth, marriage, and divorce certificates. Each translation includes the signed certification statement that courts and federal agencies require, and we can advise when notarization or an apostille is also needed.
Is video remote interpreting available for South Bay clients?
Yes. We offer scheduled video remote interpreting for telehealth visits, remote depositions, and meetings where on-site coverage is impractical or a rare language is required quickly. We will advise when an in-person interpreter is the better fit for the setting and the record.
Does AMS provide American Sign Language interpreters in San Jose?
Yes. AMS supplies qualified ASL interpreters for legal, medical, and business settings across San Jose and Silicon Valley, and can arrange a Certified Deaf Interpreter when a proceeding calls for one.
