2024 Spring Spanish Language Limited Bilingual Interpreting Examination (BIE) — Registration is Now Closed.

Registration is closed for the 2024 administration of the Spanish Language BIE. Candidates seeking to test in all available languages will have an opportunity to do so when testing resumes later in 2024. Interested candidates are encouraged to frequently visit the Exams for Language Access Providers in the California Courts for the latest interpreter exam updates.

*All candidates must have a valid Written Examination prior to registering for the BIE

Due to the suspension of the administration of the Written Examination as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Court Interpreters Program extended the validation period for the Written Examination test scores from four (4) years to six (6) years. Candidates who have passing Written Examination scores within six years are now eligible to take the BIE in their target language when it is available. Candidates who took the BIE four (4) times and did not pass are still required to retake the Written Examination.

**Candidates who do not receive their examination scores within 60 days of the candidates' examination date, should contact Prometric Candidate Care to inquire about the status.

Exam Administration Details:

The administration of the BIE will take place from March 25, 2024, to April 26, 2024. 

For any inquiries regarding existing exam appointments, please contact Prometric candidate care at (866) 241-3118, selecting option 2. They are available Monday through Friday, from 5 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. (PST).
