About St. Bernard Parish Court Records

Court and public records in St. Bernard Parish, Louisiana are split among the Clerk of Court, the 34th Judicial District Court, the Sheriff's Office, parish government, Justice of the Peace districts, and state or federal systems. This private reference site organizes those official routes so users can identify the right custodian before searching, calling, or visiting an office in Chalmette.

Why We Built This Site

Louisiana gives adults broad access to many public records under La. R.S. 44:31 and related provisions, but St. Bernard Parish records are not held in one place. The Clerk of Court maintains district-court filings, civil and criminal minutes, marriage records, land records, divorce files, and probate or succession records. The Sheriff's Office handles police reports, jail custody information, traffic and records contacts, and public-safety records. Parish government has its own public-records form, but its official instructions say it does not maintain marriage certificates, divorce certificates, criminal certificates, or police reports.

What We Cannot Do

This is a privately run reference site. It has no connection to the 34th Judicial District Court, the St. Bernard Parish Clerk of Court, the Sheriff's Office, the District Attorney, parish government, or any Louisiana state agency. There are real limits to what a private reference site can do:

  • We cannot file pleadings, motions, expungement papers, succession papers, or marriage-license documents
  • We cannot issue certified copies of court records, marriage records, divorce judgments, criminal records, or vital records
  • We cannot confirm whether a warrant exists or tell anyone how a judge will handle a case
  • We cannot give legal advice, represent a party, or interpret a court order for a specific dispute

Only the official custodian can provide a certified copy, seal, or current case-status confirmation.


Search Partners

Some pages include search boxes powered by third-party providers. Those providers run their own systems, prices, terms, and result databases. When a visitor uses one of those tools and it leads to a paid service, this site may earn a referral fee. Official St. Bernard Parish court records, certified copies, custody notices, and traffic-citation actions must still be verified through the government office or portal that holds the record.
