The Louisiana Clerks’ Remote Access Authority (LCRAA) provides free public access to clerk of court indices across all Louisiana parishes — including mortgage and conveyance, civil, and marriage license records. Users are directed to individual clerk websites to access document images.
LCRAA is useful for anyone searching records across multiple parishes without visiting individual courthouses or websites.
