Verify Government Callers with Official Louisiana Phone Directories
Louisiana State Agency Directory and Louisiana State Government Telephone Directory (PDF) list official numbers for Louisiana government offices, so you can confirm a caller is who they say they are.
Louisiana State Agency Directory
The Louisiana.gov agency directory lists each Louisiana state agency with its main phone number, website, address and a short description. The Governor's Office is 866-366-1121, the Department of Health 225-342-9500, Public Safety 225-342-3095, Children and Family Services 225-524-3578 and Revenue 855-307-3893. The Legislature has separate House and Senate numbers.
Before you trust a call from a Louisiana agency, phone its main line yourself. A few agencies have no number listed.
Louisiana State Government Telephone Directory (PDF)
Louisiana's Office of Technology Services publishes the State Government Telephone Directory, a PDF of agency phone numbers and fax numbers in alphabetical order, with local dialing rules for seven metro areas. A Reference section adds congressional, legislative, executive and university contacts, and other sections cover OTS and Telecommunications Coordinators.
The editions are from 2020-21 and 2021-22, so they're dated. Use a number here as a lead and confirm it on the agency's website before you act on a call. OTS is at 225-342-7000 or 800-354-9548.
Is Reverse Phone Lookup Legal in Louisiana?
Yes. Louisiana has no comprehensive consumer data privacy law. Residents have no state-level right to opt out of, access, or delete their information from lookup databases. Federal FCRA rules still apply: misusing lookup results for hiring, tenant screening, or credit decisions is prohibited nationwide regardless of a state's privacy landscape.
Louisiana Do Not Call Program
Louisiana's Do Not Call program, run by the Public Service Commission, carries real enforcement weight — violators face penalties up to $1,500 per call, or $3,000 if the recipient is 65 or older. Registration is free, and if unwanted calls keep coming, filing a complaint with the Commission can trigger a state-level investigation.
