Translation and Interpretation services
Customers needing language interpretation services may call 503-823-2525 for tree requests and questions to be connected to a live staff person during business hours. After hours, callers will hear instructions on available hours of service for calling back. This replaces an older system of selecting a voicemail box based on language services needed and requiring a call back at a later time.

In-Person services are currently unavailable due to the continued closure of the Development Services Center. You can find the most current information on hours and location here: https://www.portland.gov/service-locations/development-services-center
