Where to Register in New Iberia

New Iberia is the seat of Iberia Parish and an incorporated city with its own police department. This means sex offenders who live, work, or attend school in New Iberia must register with three agencies: the New Iberia Police Department, the Iberia Parish Sheriff's Office, and the Louisiana State Police. All three registrations are required by state law registering with only one or two is not enough.

All registration is in person. Bring a photo ID and proof of your New Iberia address to each agency. The New Iberia PD and Iberia Sheriff both collect your information, take your photo, and submit data to the LSP statewide system. If you are released from custody and plan to live in New Iberia, you must complete all three registrations within 3 days of release or arrival.

The search tool is free and does not require an account. Results include the registrant's photo, current address, offense, and tier level.

Registration Tiers for New Iberia Offenders

Tier II registrants register for 25 years and verify every six months. Two in-person check-ins per year. This tier covers a wide range of offenses including many involving minors or repeat behavior.

Tier III registrants must register for life and verify every 90 days. Four in-person check-ins per year. These are the most serious offenses. Tier III information is always public and is actively monitored by local law enforcement.

All tiers require updating records within 3 days of any change in address, employer, vehicle, phone, or school. Under RS 15:542, failing to register or update is a felony. First offense: up to 5 years. Repeat offenses carry longer prison terms.
