Assumption Parish Quick Facts
Assumption Parish Clerk of Court
The Assumption Parish Clerk of Court, led by Erin Hebert, is located in Napoleonville along Louisiana Highway 1.

That makes it one of the older records archives in the state, and it holds a wide range of public records beyond typical court filings.
As the clerk's office describes its role: "The Assumption Parish Clerk of Court's office is uniquely dedicated to providing extraordinary service to our community in various capacities as well as handling the preservation and management of public records dating as far back as the 1700s."

Louisiana Background Check System
A comprehensive Assumption Parish background check that goes beyond the local court system requires a request through the Louisiana State Police Bureau of Criminal Identification and Information (BCII). The BCII maintains the Louisiana Automated Criminal History System (LACCH), which is the central criminal history repository for the state. A search through this system pulls records from all 64 parishes, not just Assumption, making it the most thorough single source.
Louisiana RS 15:587 sets the rules for who can access criminal history records and how. For most requests, authorized entities submit through designated channels with proper documentation. The LACCH connects to national databases, so records from other states may also appear when applicable.
The LSP Internet Background Check portal handles online requests. For fingerprint-based checks, scheduling goes through IdentoGO. The LSP background checks page has a full overview of the request process.
The Louisiana State Police background checks page outlines all available check types and how to submit requests that cover records from Assumption Parish and statewide.
Getting Your Own Assumption Parish Background Check Record
RS 15:588 gives Louisiana residents the right to request their own criminal history record from the Louisiana State Police. This personal record review lets you confirm what is on file, check for errors, and know what others may see when searching your background in Louisiana. It is a straightforward process that starts with the IBC portal or IdentoGO for fingerprint-based requests.
The IBC FAQ page is a good first stop. It answers questions about what a personal request covers, how long processing takes, and what fees to expect. The LSP BCII page provides context on how the bureau manages Louisiana's criminal history records, including records originating from Assumption Parish courts.

Assumption Parish Records Depth and Coverage
Few Louisiana parishes can match the historical depth of Assumption Parish's records archive. The Clerk of Court office has managed documents going back to the 1700s, covering land transactions, court proceedings, marriages, and other legal matters from a period well before modern record-keeping was standardized. For background checks involving historical property claims, estate matters, or long-standing civil disputes, this archive can be invaluable.
Current records include a full range of civil and criminal court filings from the 23rd Judicial District, mortgage and conveyance records, and marriage documents. The shift to digital tools means more of these records are now accessible online. Still, for very old materials, an in-person visit to the office in Napoleonville may be necessary since digitization of historical documents takes time and the oldest records may not yet be in the online system.
The clerk's office staff can help you determine whether the records you need are available digitally or require in-person retrieval. Call ahead at (985) 369-6653 or email ehebert@assumptionclerk.com to describe what you are looking for before making a trip.
