Does Louisiana require a notarized affidavit when a person reports that their vehicle has been stolen?
Yes. Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal recently signed legislation that changes the law involving auto theft (RS14:67.26). The new law requires that a person who files a “stolen vehicle” report with a law enforcement agency complete an affidavit provided by the law enforcement officer. This affidavit would be completed, signed, and provided to the law enforcement officer who would submit the affidavit with the auto theft police report. If presented to the law enforcement officer at the time of the report the affidavit would not need to be notarized by a notary.
