How to Search Louisiana Wants & Warrants (Start Here)
Active warrants in Louisiana are maintained by law enforcement at state, parish, and local levels. There is no single database of all warrants in Louisiana.
What this page covers: Louisiana state warrant databases, most-wanted lists, and parish-level warrant search tools where available. What it does not cover: Federal warrants (those are handled by the U.S. Marshals and FBI).
Where to start: Check the state law enforcement agency first for statewide warrant searches. For parish-level warrants, contact the parish sheriff. Many parish sheriffs post active warrant lists on their websites.
Common mistake: Most-wanted lists only show high-priority fugitives. If you need to check whether someone has any active warrant, a most-wanted list is not enough — contact the parish sheriff or clerk of court directly.

Five Things People Get Wrong About Louisiana Wants & Warrants
❌ Myth: "No warrant online = no warrant exists."
✓ Truth: False. Many Louisiana counties never publish active warrants online. Call the sheriff or court clerk to confirm.
❌ Myth: "NCIC is searchable by the public."
✓ Truth: False. NCIC is law-enforcement only. The public cannot directly search the national crime index.
❌ Myth: "FBI Most Wanted = all federal fugitives."
✓ Truth: False. The Ten Most Wanted is symbolic. Thousands of federal fugitives exist; many never appear publicly.
❌ Myth: "Sealed warrants are deleted."
✓ Truth: False. Sealed warrants still exist — they just don't appear in public search. Law enforcement can still see them.
❌ Myth: "Private warrant lookup sites are official."
✓ Truth: False. Only Louisiana state and county .gov sources are authoritative; third-party sites often have stale or incorrect data.

Frequently Asked Questions
Where do I check the Louisiana most-wanted list?▼
Louisiana's statewide wanted-persons and active-warrant information is published by the Official Louisiana Wants & Warrants. View the current list at lsp.org. Additional federal fugitives can be reviewed on the FBI Most-Wanted portal.
How do I know if I have an outstanding warrant in Louisiana?▼
Most warrants in Louisiana are issued at the county or municipal level by the local court or sheriff. The Official Louisiana Wants & Warrants (lsp.org) publishes statewide and felony-level warrant data; for misdemeanor and traffic warrants you generally must contact the clerk of the issuing court directly. Sheriffs in each county also maintain local active-warrant pages.
Can a private person serve or enforce a warrant in Louisiana?▼
No. Only sworn law-enforcement officers can serve and execute warrants in Louisiana. Civilians who locate a wanted person should report the information to the Official Louisiana Wants & Warrants or local law enforcement at lsp.org rather than attempt direct contact. Some Louisiana warrants also carry a reward administered by the issuing agency.
How do I clear an old Louisiana warrant?▼
A Louisiana warrant generally must be cleared through the court that issued it — by appearing in person, hiring counsel, or filing a motion to quash. The Official Louisiana Wants & Warrants can confirm whether a warrant is currently active in the statewide system at lsp.org, but only the issuing judge can recall or quash it.
Does Louisiana share warrant data with other states?▼
Yes. Louisiana warrants that meet entry criteria are uploaded to the FBI's National Crime Information Center (NCIC), making them visible to law enforcement nationwide. The Official Louisiana Wants & Warrants at lsp.org manages Louisiana's NCIC interface and entry standards.
