Wait Times for Vital Records Updates

Birth certificates for parties born before 1983 often require electronic updating by Louisiana Vital Records prior to issuance.  Due to the national May 7 deadline to obtain Real ID, wait times for updated records may be up to an hour or more.  Applications requiring updates must be submitted prior to 3:00 PM daily at either our Covington or Slidell office.  We appreciate your patience.
