The Illinois Request & Order for an Interpreter is a form used by the Illinois courts to request and approve the services of an interpreter for an individual during a court proceeding. The form is used to document the need for an interpreter, the type of interpreter needed, and the qualifications of the interpreter. There are two types of Illinois Request & Order for an Interpreter: one for criminal proceedings and one for civil proceedings. The criminal proceedings form is used to request and approve an interpreter for criminal trials, hearings, and other proceedings. The civil proceedings form is used to request and approve an interpreter for civil cases, including divorce, adoption, and landlord/tenant disputes. Both forms must be signed by the court and require the interpreter to have qualifications approved by the court. The Request & Order for an Interpreter includes information such as the name of the requesting party, the type of interpreter needed, the language the interpreter must be fluent in, and the qualifications of the interpreter.
