Louisiana Revised Statutes Tit. 44, § 103. Certified copies and their effect

A. The recorder, upon proper request, shall issue to any person a copy of a recorded instrument and certify upon it, or in a separate certificate attached to it, that it is a true and correct copy of the instrument, the time and date the instrument was recorded, and its registration number or of the place in the records where it may be found.

B. A copy of a recorded instrument certified by the recorder is entitled to the same faith and credit as the recorded instrument. It may be recorded in the mortgage or conveyance records of other parishes with the same effect as if it were the recorded instrument.

C. Certification by a recorder of a copy of an instrument that is not in authentic form or duly authenticated does not dispense with the necessity of proving the signatures of the parties.
