BIRTH CERTIFICATES
You may obtain a certified copy of your birth certificate at our office for a fee of $34.00 if you were born in the state of Louisiana. Birth cards are available for $14.00 and must be purchased with a birth certificate for a total of $48. If you were not born in Louisiana, you must contact the state where you were born.
There are very strict identification requirements to obtain a birth certificate. We request that you bring a current Louisiana driver’s license or a state issued picture identification card. You may only obtain a birth certificate for yourself, an immediate relative, or a child who you have an order of legal guardianship for.
If you were born before 1983, wait time for the state to upload your certificate for printing will be between 15 minutes and 1 hour. More recent certificates will be available within 15 minutes. Certificates for newborns are generally not available until the child is 4-5 months of age.
If our office is unable to find your name in the Vital Records database, fees will not be refunded. Accuracy of the spelling of your given name and that of your parents is vital to finding the correct record.
DEATH CERTIFICATES
You may obtain a certified copy of a Death Certificate at our office for a fee of $26.00. We are only able to print them if the death certificate is after July 1, 2013.
