Search East Baton Rouge Warrant Records Online

East Baton Rouge Parish stands out from most Louisiana parishes because it offers more than one way to search warrant records online. The Baton Rouge City Court provides a warrant lookup tool through the city-parish website at brla.gov. You can search by name and date of birth. The Open Data BR portal also publishes city court warrant data. These tools cover city court warrants only, not district court warrants issued through the 19th Judicial District.

The city court warrant lookup comes with a clear warning. The site states that a "lookup is not confirmation of an active warrant. All City Court warrants should be confirmed by the official court file. Please contact the City Constable's Office at (225) 389-3889 or (225) 389-3004, as electronic records may not reflect the most current status." Take that seriously. Online data can lag behind what happens in the courtroom.

The Baton Rouge City Court is at 233 Saint Louis Street, Baton Rouge, LA 70802. Phone is (225) 389-5279. They handle warrant lookups for city court cases and also let you pay tickets online. Under Louisiana Revised Statute 44:1, warrant records are public once they have been filed with the court.

Note: Online access through the clerk's e-search service requires a subscription, but in-person inspection during business hours costs nothing.
