No Virgin Islands licensing or certification statute for court reporters was found, so the requirement is unclear. The Superior Court of the Virgin Islands is a court of record whose Office of the Court Reporter was established under 4 V.I.C. 86; the court's page says official court reporters use a stenograph machine and computer-aided transcription to make the verbatim record, and Superior Court Rule 6 requires the reporter to prepare and certify transcripts on request. Neither source lists qualifications. A 2024 NCRA job listing for Official Court Reporter II with the Judiciary of the USVI appeared in search results asking for a high school diploma plus graduation from an NCRA-approved court reporting program, but the listing page itself was not retrievable (404), so that detail is unverified. The federal District Court of the Virgin Islands (St. Croix, vacancy 2024-001) required one year of court reporting experience and the NCRA RPR, with higher pay levels for RMR and CRR holders (salary $92,739 to $106,650 plus 12.04 percent COLA).

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.
