Ventura Superior Court – Reminder to Request Court Interpreter

In order to meet the increased demand, and given the limited resources available, the Ventura Superior Court reminds court users that, if they need an interpreter for civil (including Small Claims and Unlawful Detainer), family law, probate and juvenile dependency cases, they must submit a written request for an interpreter in accordance with Local Rule 20.03. VN-250 Request for Interpreter [English][Español] must be submitted to the clerk’s office not later than two (2) court days before each hearing. If there are questions, please contact the Interpreter Office at (805) 289-8799 or at vcscinterpreting@ventura.courts.ca.gov.

Appointments are required for service at the Family Law Clerks’ Offices at the Hall of Justice (Ventura). Appointments are also required for Family Law and Civil Self-Help. (See below: “Schedule an Appointment”). No appointments are necessary for the Civil Clerk’s Office at the Hall of Justice (Ventura), Records & Exhibits, the Clerk’s Office at the Juvenile Courthouse (Oxnard), as well as the outside walk-up windows at the Hall of Justice and the East County Courthouse (Simi Valley) which are open for Criminal/Traffic and Collection Filings/Payments.
