Language Access Toolkit: Free Replacements for LEP.gov Materials

LEP.gov, the federal language access website, has been offline since July 2025. These three free tools replace some of what it offered: interpreter request cards, data on who needs language help and where, and a record of what has changed in federal policy.

What happened to LEP.gov

On March 1, 2025, Executive Order 14224 designated English the official language of the United States and revoked Executive Order 13166, the 2000 order behind federal language access guidance. On July 14, 2025, the Attorney General's implementing memo suspended LEP.gov and other public language access materials pending review, and said new guidance would follow. LEP.gov now redirects to a Justice Department page that says the materials will be replaced when new guidance is issued.

As of October 25, 2026, we found no replacement guidance in the Federal Register. Title VI, Section 1557 and state language access laws still apply. The tracker has the details.
