In detail

Getting a passport in Louisiana

Louisiana residents usually apply for a first passport at an acceptance facility such as a post office or a parish clerk of court's office. For urgent travel, the New Orleans Passport Center sees applicants by appointment, and a registered courier such as Allstate Passports & Visas is another option. This page lists acceptance facilities in 30 Louisiana cities, explains each option, and covers Louisiana's birth certificate rules, which are stricter than in most states.

Acceptance facilities in Louisiana

Use an acceptance facility for a first passport, a child's passport, or a replacement for a lost or stolen one. Many facilities in Louisiana work by appointment. Your city page above lists the facilities nearby.

Bring Form DS-11 without signing it, proof of U.S. citizenship such as a certified long-form birth certificate, a photo ID plus a photocopy, and one passport photo. There are two fees: one to the U.S. Department of State and one to the facility.

The New Orleans Passport Center

The New Orleans Passport Center is the State Department's office for Louisiana. It sees applicants by appointment only, and only if they travel internationally within 14 days or need a foreign visa within 28 days. From Shreveport the Dallas Passport Agency is closer, and from Lake Charles the Houston Passport Agency is closer. Bring proof of travel. How to book an agency appointment.

Birth certificates in Louisiana

Louisiana is a closed record state: birth records are confidential for 100 years and are not public. The Louisiana Vital Records Registry, part of the Louisiana Department of Health, issues certified copies. A long-form birth certificate costs $15 from the state, plus a security fee and shipping. You can walk in at the Vital Records Central Office in New Orleans, order through VitalChek (with a will-call pickup option in New Orleans), or order by mail, which takes about 8 to 10 weeks.

Participating parish clerks of court also issue long-form certificates, for a higher fee of $34. For a passport, order the long form. The short-form birth card does not list your parents, and the State Department needs a birth certificate that shows your parents' names. Details are on the Louisiana Department of Health birth records page.
