Access LaSalle Parish Clerk Records

LaSalle Parish Clerk of Court Office

LaSalle Parish uses one Clerk of Court for the local District Court record system and for parish instruments such as marriage, mortgage, conveyance, UCC, judgment, and certified-copy work. The current Clerk is Steve Andrews. The Louisiana Clerks of Court Association roster and the Louisiana Secretary of State clerk directory both list the same LaSalle Clerk contact details, including the courthouse street address, mailing address, phone, fax, email, and office website.

Because there is no split between a district clerk and a county clerk in this parish, most local record questions start at the same office. Civil pleadings, criminal filings, divorce decrees, succession papers, marriage certificates, land records, and certifications all point back to the Clerk, though some Sheriff, JP, municipal, federal, or driver-record matters fall outside that office.

The statewide Louisiana Clerks of Court Association roster is one official source for the office listing. Its LaSalle roster context is shown in this Louisiana clerks directory source image.

That roster supports the local contact card, but record searches still require enough case or document detail for the LaSalle office to identify the file.

LaSalle Parish Clerk Record Duties

The Clerk is the record custodian for filings that move through the 28th Judicial District Court. That includes civil suits, criminal court records, divorce and family filings, succession matters, judgments, motions, answers, service returns, minute entries, and certified copies. The office also handles public instruments that do not read like a lawsuit, such as marriage records, mortgage and conveyance records, UCC filings, lien-related records, clear lien certificates, notary work, and recording certifications.

Marriage and divorce records show why the Clerk role matters. Louisiana Department of Health guidance sends certified marriage certificates for all parishes except Orleans back to the parish Clerk where the marriage occurred. It also says certified divorce decrees come from the Clerk of Court in the parish where the divorce was granted, not from the state vital records office. For probate, Louisiana usually uses the term succession, and LaSalle succession papers are District Court filings made through the Clerk. The related local probate discussion is handled in LaSalle Parish succession records.

• District Court case files: civil, criminal, family, succession, judgment, motion, and order records.
• Marriage and divorce records: licenses, certificates, divorce decrees, and family case copies when available for release.
• Land and recording records: mortgage, conveyance, UCC, lien, judgment, and certification items.
• Copy services: plain copies, certified copies, conformed copies, minute entries, searches, fax service, and certifications.
• Filing intake: new civil suits, pleadings, answers, trial-setting motions, jury-demand items, and service-related fees.

LaSalle Parish Clerk Request Channels

Official research found several ways to reach the Clerk, but not a broad free LaSalle District Court case-search portal. In-person service is at the Clerk counter on Courthouse Street. Mail requests use the post office box. Phone and fax are published by both the Louisiana Clerks of Court Association and the Secretary of State. The Clerk website also has a contact form for written messages.

Use the channel that fits the record. A certified divorce decree or court judgment should go to the Clerk with case details and payment confirmation. A land or marriage index search may begin in LCRAA. A Sheriff booking record, bond question, public-records request to the Sheriff's Office, or jail roster issue should not be sent to the Clerk unless it has become part of a filed District Court case.

The Louisiana Secretary of State also publishes clerk contact data. The Secretary of State listing is reflected in this Louisiana clerk directory source image.

That second directory is useful confirmation when a mailed request or faxed request needs the same office details shown on the local Clerk website.

Certified Copies from LaSalle Parish Clerk

A certified copy is a copy authenticated by the Clerk. It is often needed for court use, property transfers, marriage proof, divorce proof, succession transactions, banks, title work, or agencies that will not accept a plain photocopy. The Clerk's posted price page lists certified copies at $5 plus $1 per page, while recording-section certification has a separate $10 line. Because filing and service costs can depend on parties, pages, service location, and jury requests, the office should confirm the final amount before a mailed request is sent.

1. Identify the record by type, such as civil judgment, criminal minute entry, divorce decree, marriage certificate, succession judgment, mortgage record, or UCC filing.
2. Gather party names, case number or document number if known, approximate filing date, and whether the request is for a plain or certified copy.
3. Contact the Clerk by phone, counter, mail, fax, email, or form to confirm the search method, available record, fee, and payment method.
4. Submit the request with return contact information and payment as instructed by the Clerk.
5. Review the returned copy for the Clerk certification, page count, and record name before relying on it for court, title, agency, or financial use.

Note: LCRAA can help with index research, but certified copies still need the Clerk or the issuing office.

LaSalle Clerk Contact Form Fields

The official Clerk contact form is not a complete case portal, but it gives a structured way to ask the office about record access, copy needs, or filing questions. A strong message should state the exact record type, the names involved, the time frame, the case or book/page data if known, and the reason a certified copy may be needed. Do not treat a contact-form submission as proof that a court date changed, a warrant was recalled, or a filing was accepted.

LaSalle Parish Clerk Fee Schedule

The LaSalle Clerk price page publishes civil filing, copy, recording, mortgage, fax, certification, and UCC charges. The official page contains some typographical issues and older wording, so the amounts should be read as posted fees rather than as legal advice about which filing category applies. If a filing has multiple parties, extra service, a jury demand, exhibits, recording, or certification, the Clerk should quote the total before payment.

LaSalle Parish LCRAA Portal

The Louisiana Clerks Remote Access Authority portal is the online channel found for Louisiana land and marriage indexes. It is useful for index work, but it should not be described as a complete LaSalle Parish District Court records search. The public screen shows a user name, password, password reset link, sign-up link, and browser notice. A user may need an account for deeper index and image access.

The Clerk's own website remains the local anchor for LaSalle Parish records. The local site is shown in this LaSalle Clerk website source image.

Use the local Clerk site, LCRAA, and direct contact together when a land, marriage, court, or certified-copy request needs more detail than one channel provides.
