The Registry of Interpreters for the Deaf, Inc. (RID) operates as a national membership organization for professionals who facilitate communication between Deaf or hard-of-hearing individuals and those who hear. It has helped establish national quality standards for interpreters and transliterators and focuses on growing the profession while informing the public about the essential role of interpreting and transliterating services. RID's mission centers on promoting excellence through professional development, networking, advocacy, and standards, while its vision calls for linguistic rights to be recognized as human rights, a prominent Deaf community presence, and formal credentialing that advances the profession. Based in Alexandria, Virginia, RID serves a nationwide community within the consumer services landscape that includes interpreters and the users of sign and spoken languages. A 2022 development notes RID's involvement in an international collaboration with the Philippine Department of Science and Technology to incorporate sign language in the TekNegoShow business talk show, reflecting its engagement beyond U.S. borders.
