The National Association of Certified Child Forensic Interviewers (NACCFI) stands as the singular professional credentialing entity dedicated to child forensic interviewers within the United States. Established on June 16, 2006, NACCFI is founded on the fundamental belief that the delicate task of conducting child forensic interviews demands the expertise of rigorously trained and credentialed professionals. In acknowledgment of the profound impact such interviews have on the welfare and safety of the general public, NACCFI adheres to the empirical literature, asserting that child forensic interviewing is a specialized professional practice.

NACCFI operates as a not-for-profit, non-stock association, duly incorporated in Virginia under Chapter 10 of Title 13.1 of the Code of Virginia (1950). Through its commitment to elevating professional standards, NACCFI plays a pivotal role in safeguarding the integrity of child forensic interviewing practices while contributing to the broader mission of enhancing public safety.
