Orleans Parish Warrant Records Orleans Parish Warrant Records

This page explains what this site can and cannot help with, and where to send a question about an official Orleans Parish warrant. Almost every request belongs with the clerk who holds the case file or with the agency that serves the order, not with us. The routing below sends each kind of need to the office that can actually answer it.

This Is Not a Government or Law Enforcement Office. This is a private reference site. It cannot confirm whether a warrant exists, recall or clear one, post bond, arrange a surrender, or give legal advice. Those answers come from the issuing court, its clerk, or a licensed Louisiana attorney.

Here is how the questions most people ask should be routed:

  • Whether a criminal warrant exists: start with the clerk who holds the case, since the clerk can read the current docket entry.
  • A city ticket or ordinance attachment: call the Municipal and Traffic Court clerk, and confirm the address before you travel.
  • A missed court date: contact the court that set the case, because that court issued the order and only it can recall it.
  • Resolving or clearing a warrant: talk to a licensed Louisiana attorney about a recall, a bond, or a planned appearance.
  • A police report or arrest paperwork: request it from the NOPD Records and Identification Division, not from the court.

Two cautions are worth repeating. The clerk of court can explain what a file shows, but only a lawyer can advise you on what to do about it. And the sheriff's office does not publish a public name search for warrants, so the court record is the route that works.
