Courts in Anchorage and language help

The Alaska Court System provides and pays for interpreters during court proceedings under Administrative Rule 6. To ask for one, file the Notice of Need for Interpreter, form TF-985, with the court handling your case.

An interpreter covers what is said in the courtroom. Written material such as a foreign divorce decree, judgment or contract is the work of a legal translator, and the court system’s guidance says a true and accurate translation must be produced at all times.

The route to an Alaska apostille from Anchorage

Apostilles are issued only by the Office of the Lieutenant Governor, and the office lists in-person service in Juneau only, by appointment. No Anchorage counter is listed for this service, so from Anchorage the request goes by mail or courier. We can help you with the apostille process.
