VINELink is a free tool that works with Iberia Parish booking records. The system lets you search for an inmate by name and see their custody status. If you sign up for custody alerts, VINE will send you a call, text, or email when an inmate's custody status changes. This could mean they were released, moved, or had a new charge added.

You can reach VINELink at vinelink.com. Pick Louisiana as the state and then select Iberia Parish. The search is anonymous. You do not have to give your name or explain why you want the info.

Statewide Search Tools for Iberia Parish

If someone has been moved from the Iberia Parish jail to a state prison, you can track them through the Louisiana DPS&C offender locator at doc.la.gov. This booking tool shows housing assignments, facility addresses, and projected release dates. You need a name and date of birth, or a DPS&C number, to search.

La. R.S. 15:587 makes Louisiana a closed record state for full criminal history. That means you cannot pull someone's complete arrest history from the state police without authorization.

R.S. 15:588 by submitting fingerprints through the Louisiana Applicant Processing System. The state police process these requests at a cost of $26 per record.

Note: The DPS&C locator only covers state facilities and does not show parish jail data.

Clearing Iberia Parish Booking Records

If you were booked in Iberia Parish and the case was dropped, you may be able to get the arrest record sealed. Under La. C.Cr.P. Art. 971, Louisiana allows expungement of arrest records when the case ended without a conviction. This does not erase the record. It makes it confidential so it does not show up in most public searches.

You file for expungement through the 16th Judicial District Court, which serves Iberia Parish. You need to show that the case was dismissed, the charges were dropped, or you were found not guilty. Misdemeanor convictions may also qualify after five years. Felony convictions are generally not eligible. Contact the Clerk of Court in New Iberia for the forms and fees involved.
