All DSHS credentials are valid for four years and will expire at the end of the four-year cycle unless the interpreter/translator submits ALL the renewal requirements per Washington Administrative Code (WAC) Section 388-03-160.
All renewal requirements must be submitted through LTC Gateway:
- 16 general credits - Earned any time in the four-year cycle. Need to be completed prior to credential expiration date.
- 4 ethics credits - Earned one credit per calendar year of your credential cycle. You can access the annual ethics training and quiz directly on your Gateway profile, and the date you take the quiz will be added to your record once completed. You must complete each credit on time. If you miss a credit, you won't be able to make it up. If you have more than one credential, one ethics credit will apply to all your credentials.
- Signed Code of Conduct - Complete this on your LTC Gateway profile’s "Renewals" tab.
