Language Access

Success of the Department’s mission depends on accurate communication with members of the public, regardless of their level of English proficiency.  On April 5, 2012, the Attorney General announced revised policies to ensure that Department staff take reasonable steps to provide limited English proficient (LEP) persons with meaningful access to Department programs and activities.

Please let us know if you have trouble understanding English or need help communicating with the Department of Justice.  Ask for an interpreter or if translated material is available when you contact us.  If you can, please tell us your language or dialect.

For more information about how the Department plans to overcome language barriers and comply with Executive Order 13166, please see the Departmental Language Access Plan and additional Agency Language Access Plans.  We welcome public comment to help us ensure that our policies are applied consistently within and across the Department.  If you would like to provide us feedback or suggestions to the Departmental Language Access Plan, please send an email to DOJLAWG@usdoj.gov.  Feedback will help us establish better protocols and procedures as we continue to implement the Departmental Language Access Plan.
