Livingston Parish Clerk Office
The Livingston Parish Clerk of Court is Jason B. Harris. The Clerk's site describes the office as the official local source for public services, documents, records, marriage licenses, jury duty, civil suits, election functions, and more. The Clerk structure is unified for Livingston Parish. That means court filings, civil and succession records, criminal and traffic filings handled by the Clerk, marriage licenses, mortgages and conveyances, and research or copy services all route through this office rather than a split clerk system.

Livingston Parish Clerk Duties
The Clerk's services page identifies marriage licenses, jury duty, records requests, civil court and filings, criminal and traffic, mortgages, records search, research and copy, and criminal record checks. The Clerk's Civil Department handles civil suits, adoptions, successions, and tutorships. Civil Records maintains civil suits, adoptions, tutorships, and succession jacket folders, assists with digital and physical searches, and can answer record-status questions such as service and scheduled trial or rule dates.
The Criminal Department files formal charges from the District Attorney's Office. It handles felony charges for Livingston Parish crimes and misdemeanor charges or traffic citations outside municipal-court city limits. It also issues criminal subpoenas and criminal or civil bench warrants, conducts criminal background searches, and files juvenile delinquent and Child in Need of Care petitions. Juvenile records are confidential and only available without a judge's specific court order to authorized court officers.
- Civil filing and civil records for suits, successions, tutorships, and adoptions.
- Criminal and traffic filing for felony cases and nonmunicipal misdemeanor or traffic matters.
- Marriage licenses and copies for licenses purchased through Livingston Parish.
- Mortgage, conveyance, records search, copy, and certification services.

Request Livingston Parish Copies
Deputy clerks can assist with researching records in the Clerk's care, and the research/copy page says staff assistance itself is free. Copies cost $1 per page. The Clerk cannot give title opinions or legal advice, and in Louisiana only an attorney can render a title opinion. Certified copies should be requested when the copy must be used for a filing, agency submission, title work, marriage proof, judgment proof, or other official purpose.
- Identify the record type, such as civil suit, succession, marriage license, criminal disposition, mortgage, or traffic filing.
- Gather names, case number or docket number, date range, and document type if known.
- Contact the Clerk counter, Denham Springs satellite, or mail the request when the Clerk allows mail service.
- Ask whether an ordinary copy, certified copy, or conformed copy is needed.
- Pay the listed copy or certification fee and confirm delivery or pickup instructions.
Livingston Parish Request Fields
The research file did not locate one universal Clerk records request form for all record types. A good written request should provide the details the Clerk needs to locate the record and calculate copy fees. Criminal dispositions have a specific written route: the Clerk FAQ says to mail the request and check or money order payable to Livingston Parish Clerk of Court to ATTN: Criminal Filing Desk, P.O. Box 1150, Livingston, LA 70754.

Livingston Parish Clerk Forms
The Clerk forms page links forms for expungement, marriage license, Louisiana marriage officiant affidavit, mortgage and cancellation forms, criminal record check request, and assumed business name. The expungement packet states that forms are a resource only and that the Clerk cannot complete forms or give legal advice. It cites Louisiana Code of Criminal Procedure articles 971-997 and lists separate money orders for agencies when filing a standard expungement packet.
The same forms page matters for routine record access because it separates a criminal record check request from a criminal disposition request. A disposition comes from the Clerk's FAQ process and is tied to a name and charge, while a broader criminal history or expungement need may involve other forms or agencies.
The Louisiana State Bar Association court structure source helps explain why the Clerk is tied to district court records in Livingston Parish.
