Request Services
Use the links below to email our team. When submitting requests, allow 12 business day for processing. Although this can vary due to workload, length and complexity of the request, and interpreter/translator availability. If you have an expedited request, please let us know as soon as possible. Department of Civil Rights Language Access staff will respond within two business days, by cc'ing you on the request to interpretation/translation staff.
We recommend releasing surveys and other public engagement tools in alternate languages on the same date as English versions.
