Guam has no court reporter licensing statute that could be found. 7 GCA 8102 lets the Judicial Council of Guam appoint Official Reporters for the courts and says their qualifications shall be determined by standards formulated by the Judicial Council; those standards were not located. 7 GCA 8103 lets reporters record verbatim by shorthand, mechanical or electronic means and certify transcripts, and 8104 sets salaries and transcript fees under Judicial Council rules. The District Court of Guam appoints federal official court reporters under 28 U.S.C. 753 (an NCRA Registered Merit Reporter was profiled there in 2024). The official Guam Compiler of Laws PDF for Title 7 Chapter 8 returned a 404 at research time, so the statute text was read from a secondary reproduction. No source addresses freelance reporters.

Exam speeds and legs for the national credentials are on the certifications page; the path from school to the exam is in how to become a court reporter.
