Back to all statesLouisiana public records are governed by the Louisiana Public Records Law, which gives residents and the public the right to access government documents and records. From property ownership and court records to business filings and vital statistics, Louisiana maintains extensive public databases across its 64 parishes. Louisiana uses parishes instead of counties, and parish clerks of court maintain land records, civil filings, and criminal records — Orleans Parish operates its own separate system. Whether you're conducting a background check, researching property history, or verifying business information, the resources below provide direct access to official Louisiana public records.
Most Louisiana public records can be accessed online through state agency portals like the Louisiana State Archives and the Louisiana Vital Records Registry, or through individual county clerk websites. For records not published online, agencies accept written requests under the Louisiana Public Records Law — usually by mail or email — and must respond within the statutory deadline. Certified copies of vital records and court documents typically require a small fee and proof of identity.
