Louisiana State Police Background Checks for Kenner

The Louisiana State Police Bureau of Criminal Identification and Information (BCII) processes statewide background checks for any person with a Louisiana criminal record. A BCII search covers all 64 parishes, giving a broader view than a Jefferson Parish-only search. For subjects with criminal history in multiple parishes, the state-level search is the only way to see all of it in one report.

Submit requests through the Louisiana Identity and Background Check (IBC) portal. The standard fee is $31 plus a $5 technology surcharge. Mail requests take 15 to 21 business days. Louisiana is a closed-record state under RS 15:587, restricting the BCII criminal history database to authorized requestors based on purpose. Results are valid for 14 days from issuance.

The IBC does not accept cash or personal checks. If you need to review your own record, the in-person review fee is $41 and the mail review fee is $31. For fingerprint-based checks required by professional licensing or other regulatory purposes, schedule through IdentoGO at a location in or near the Kenner/New Orleans metro area.

The Louisiana State Police background check services page provides a full overview of state-level background check options.
