This paper addresses the issue of access to justice for the deaf community within the Public Prosecutor's Office of the State of Rondônia (MPRO). The problem that guides the research is what are the barriers faced by the deaf community in access to justice within the institutional framework of the MPRO. The general objective is to identify the actions and means undertaken by the institution in relation to access to justice for the deaf community, as well as to propose a solution that promotes accessibility to communication. The justification has as attention the Law No. 13.146/2015, which established the Law of Inclusion of the Person with Disabilities, intended to ensure and promote equality, rights and constitutional freedoms of these people, in order to promote inclusion and citizenship. As for the methodology, the approach is qualitative, of the descriptive and exploratory type. To achieve the objective, the research was conducted in the Prosecutors' Offices of Porto Velho, capital of the state of Rondônia, in the Accessibility Commission, the Department of Integrated Communication and the Human Resources Management. The methodological procedures were: data survey through Questionnaire in digital media (Google Forms and Microsoft Teams) with 121 servers and 21 prosecutors about the services promoted by MPRO; bibliographic and documentary for the presentation of the historical aspects of the person with disabilities, laws, resolutions, doctrines, ordinances and international standards; As for the nature it is applied, since after the collection and analysis of the research presents a final product, whose proposal is the creation of a digital tool for the deaf community to obtain information and register their demands in the Public Ministry, assisting in the formation of a team of servers trained in the service in Libras. It is concluded that, currently, within the Public Ministry of the State of Rondonia, the deaf community has accessibility to news published on the website through the automatic translator VLibras; on the other hand, in the administrative headquarters of the Public Ministry in Porto Velho, there is not yet a public policy to communication accessibility in serving the deaf community, since there is no staff person qualified for translation and interpretation of Brazilian Sign Language, and there is no assistive technology or cooperation with entities that provide accessibility.
