The Livingston Parish Clerk of Court is charged with the responsibility of maintaining public records in the county. When a document is received at the recording desk, it is stamped with a unique instrument number and an Index Book and Page number. The stamp also records the date, hour, and minute of filing. Records maintained by the clerk’s office include but are not limited to conveyances, mortgages and other documents. Unlike other states, original documents sent to the Clerk of the District Court are not returned to the owner after recordation.
Documents recorded by the clerk’s office are considered public records and can be accessed by the public. To access public records, you can either do a background check online or visit the clerk’s office in person during office hours. To do a public records search online, you have to visit Public Records Search. To use the site, you will be charged a fee of $50.00 per year after which you will be able to access land records (both conveyance and mortgage), marriage licenses, and plats. Alternatively, you can present a written request in person at the office of the clerk. Below is the physical address of the Livingston Parish Clerk of Court’s office:
