Our Florida Court Reporters have earned the right to add the title initials to their names. To be a Registered Professional Reporter, you have to pass the National Court Reporters Association's (NCRA) four-part examination. This is an exam administered to Court Reporters that shows proficiency (as in a board certified doctor, or board certified attorney) with a national benchmark. The registration is evidence that their skills are at an advanced level and that they are capable of reporting anything from a layman to a technical expert witness' testimony.
