Thank you for responding.
You are right A.J. when selecting a Interpreter one should have an expectation of what skill level they want/require for any particular situation. I am looking for someone to interpret a Interview and I want to make sure they have some accreditation or references. That is partly why I was asking about an Association of Interpreters in the country.
A.J. - could you please PM me with some of the contact information for the Interpreters you know in Puerto Plata?
By the way, I am a Sign Language Interpreter and eventually would like to speak at a fluent level of Spanish to interpret in DR and other Latin countries but I would not attempt now to interpret with my conversational level spanish abilities
