Ordering Louisiana Death Records
Louisiana death records are not considered part of the public record. Subsequently, Louisiana is considered to be a “closed records” state and only certain people will be able to make a request for copies.
Ways That You Can Order Death Records
If you are eligible to order Louisiana death records, then there are three different ways that you can make your request. The first is to stop into the office and make a request in person. The second is to send in an application and fees by mail. The third is to use an authorized service provider for an additional fee. This provider will allow you to order Louisiana death records online or by phone and fax.
Not Open To All
Since Louisiana is a closed records state, Louisiana death records are only available to select people. In order to request a record, you must be the deceased’s surviving spouse, parent or grandparent, adult child or grandchild, sibling, or a beneficiary of their insurance policy.
