Language access

Our languages

We help in English, Spanish and French today. More languages are coming, including Chinese, Russian, Bengali and Haitian Creole.

For other languages, we use a professional phone interpreter at no extra cost.

Your rights with the government

New York City agencies must give you a free interpreter and translated forms (Local Law 30). New York State agencies must too (Executive Law 202-a). Ask for an interpreter at any office or on any call.
