Access Cameron Parish Clerk Records

Cameron Parish Clerk of Court

Cameron Parish has a unified Clerk of Court. The official Clerk is Susan Racca. The Clerk's role is broad: court-file custodian, filing office, copy and certificate source, marriage-license issuer, mortgage and conveyance recorder, election officer, jury coordinator, and public service counter. The State Court Structure Map confirms that there is no secondary clerk page for this parish.

The Clerk is the practical local fallback when a district-court case, succession file, divorce decree, certified criminal disposition, civil certificate, marriage record, mortgage instrument, or conveyance document is not available through a public online tool. The Cameron Parish court system is compact, with one district court and one parish Clerk office, so choosing the right office before traveling saves time.

The Cameron Parish Clerk contact page is the official source for the courthouse contact block used for Clerk record requests.

The contact information supports in-person, phone, email, mail, and copy-request planning for Cameron Parish Clerk records.

Cameron Parish Clerk Record Duties

The Clerk's site and about page describe access to civil, criminal, family, and probate court records, plus case filings and marriage records. The service page also lists birth/death certificates, civil department, conveyance and mortgage, jury duty, elections, marriage licenses, passports, and criminal questions by phone. For court-record purposes, the Clerk is the custodian or access point for the local court file.

• Receives and maintains 38th Judicial District Court civil, criminal, family, and probate/succession filings.
• Issues marriage licenses and provides certified marriage copies through the Clerk process.
• Provides copies, certified copies, criminal dispositions, civil certificates, and name-based searches when available.
• Records conveyance and mortgage instruments under Louisiana recorder indexing rules.
• Coordinates jury and election functions identified by the Clerk services page.

The Cameron Parish elected-official source also confirms the local Clerk. The Cameron Parish elected officials page places the Clerk within the parish's broader public-office structure.

That parish source reinforces the local office identity for Cameron Parish Clerk of Court records and services.

Request Cameron Parish Certified Copies

Certified copies from the Clerk are used when a document must show the Clerk's official certification. Common examples include divorce decrees, judgments, criminal dispositions, civil certificates, marriage copies, succession judgments, mortgage certificates, and other filed or recorded documents. A requester should say whether a plain copy is enough or whether certification is required, because the fee and handling can differ.

1. Identify the record type, such as civil case, criminal disposition, divorce decree, succession, marriage license, mortgage, or conveyance record.
2. Gather the case number, act number, party names, decedent name, spouses' names, filing date range, or property information that helps the Clerk locate the record.
3. Contact the Clerk by phone, email, mail, or in person to confirm availability and total copy, search, postage, and certification costs.
4. Submit the request with the required payment method and say whether pickup, mail, fax, or email is requested when that format is allowed.
5. Review the certified copy for the requested document title, case or record number, and certification before using it for legal or administrative purposes.

Cameron Parish Records Request Fields

No single universal Cameron Parish Clerk request form was located for every record type. A good request should still follow the fields the Clerk needs to identify a file and calculate costs. For online remote access, LCRAA uses visible login fields, while ClerkConnect access may vary by parish and service type.

Cameron Parish Clerk Fees

The Clerk fee schedule is detailed. The table below keeps the most record-access and filing-related items together, with marriage and probate entries included because those services are handled by the same office. Current totals may change if a request has extra pages, service needs, indexing, postage, or multiple certifications.

The Louisiana recorder index statute is relevant to Clerk recording work because it requires recorder indexes with names, file number, recording date, book/page, and LCRAA indexing standards.

That indexing rule helps explain why names, dates, act numbers, and property details matter in Clerk record requests.

Cameron Parish Clerk Vital and Probate Records

Marriage and probate services are not separate from the Clerk's record role. Marriage licenses are issued by the Clerk, and LDH says non-Orleans parish marriage records are obtained from the parish Clerk of Court. Divorce decrees also come from the Clerk in the parish where the divorce was granted. For probate, the Clerk handles successions as 38th JDC civil/probate matters, with a $400 advance deposit listed for Successions/Probate.

Certified copies can be needed after both kinds of filings. Marriage certified copies may be ordered from the Clerk. Certified divorce decrees and certified succession judgments also route through the Clerk when the case was filed in Cameron Parish. The local record path is therefore more reliable than a state-level vital-record request for these Cameron Parish documents.

Cameron Parish E-Filing and Remote Access

The Clerk's civil fee page says e-filing is available through ClerkConnect. The Clerk's electronic filing procedures apply to pleadings, documents, and exhibits in legal proceedings. If an electronic filing is accepted, it is the official court record. The procedures require PDF format, recommend 300 DPI minimum, limit file names to Latin alphanumeric characters without special characters and 50 characters or fewer, and bar password-protected, encrypted, package, embedded, multimedia, or programmed PDFs.

Filers are responsible for redacting personal identifiers where required. The confirmation date and time control if the filing is accepted. E-filing is available around the clock except during downtime, but the Clerk may reject nonconforming filings or filings with insufficient advance deposit. A concrete procedure change took effect January 1, 2026: fax filing was discontinued, and attorneys' civil filings by U.S. mail ceased. Attorneys must use walk-in or e-filing for civil filings.

Remote record access also involves LCRAA/eClerks. The statewide LCRAA portal shows username, password, login, and sign-up controls. The eClerks statewide portal overview explains the Louisiana Clerks' Remote Access Authority framework, and La. R.S. 13:754 authorizes statewide remote access and e-filing. Cameron users should treat these tools as official remote channels, but not as a promise that every local Clerk record image is publicly available.

The LCRAA authority statute is one of the main legal sources for statewide clerk remote access.

The statute supports the ClerkConnect and eClerks discussion without replacing the Clerk's local copy and certification process.
