Baton Rouge Warrant Records

Baton Rouge warrant records can be searched through the Baton Rouge City Court, the East Baton Rouge Parish Sheriff's Office, and the 19th Judicial District Court. The city has one of the few public online warrant lookup tools in Louisiana, which makes checking for active warrants simpler here than in most places. This page covers how to find and search each agency that handles warrants in Baton Rouge and how to use the search tools that are open to the public.

Baton Rouge City Court Warrant Lookup

Baton Rouge City Court has a public warrant lookup tool online. Go to city.brla.gov/dept/citycourt/warrants and type in a name. Names are in last name, first name format. For example, search SMITH, JOE. The more characters you type, the narrower the results get. If you search JONES, W you will get all the JONES entries whose first name starts with W.

The results show the person's name, file number, sex, race, date of birth, warrant type, judicial division, date of arrest, and offender address. The court posts warrants to the site daily, but it can take 7 to 10 days for new information to show up. This lookup is not official confirmation of an active warrant. The court says to contact the City Constable's Office at (225) 389-3889 or (225) 389-3004 to confirm any warrant you find through the online search.

Note: Warrants posted online may take up to 10 days to appear, so always call the Constable's Office for the most current status.
