Welcome to the South Carolina Registry of Interpreters for the Deaf site.

SC RID serves as an essential local arena for its members to pursue excellence. SC RID is an affiliate chapter to the National Registry of Interpreters for the Deaf organization. Take advantage of the numerous benefits these groups offer by joining  both the national organization, as well as the state chapter which will focus on the needs of interpreters in South Carolina.
