Louisiana Birth Certificates

As of 1990, the state archive stores all birth records over 100 years old and death and marriage records over fifty years old. Some parish health departments have alphabetical birth and death indexes for their areas; they are not, however, complete listings of all births and deaths of that parish. Those records more recent are housed at the Office of Public Health. The Catholic churches throughout the state kept registers of christenings, marriages, and burials and were the recorders of Louisiana's early vital records. Many have been published. For marriage records for parishes other than Orleans, contact the Office of the Clerk of Court for that parish.

For birth records within the last 100 years and marriage and death records within the last fifty years, write:
