You can check if a person is a licensed clergyman by contacting the parish clerk of court. For EBR Parish that number is 389-3950.

Louisiana Statutes say:

§202.  Authority to perform marriage ceremony

A marriage ceremony may be performed by:

(1)  A priest, minister, rabbi, clerk of the Religious Society of Friends, or any clergyman of any religious sect, who is authorized by the authorities of his religion to perform marriages, and who is registered to perform marriages;

(2)  A state judge or justice of the peace.
