Good to know: Statutory late-payment structure (RS 37:375): an additional $10 charge if the renewal fee is paid after January 31 but before March 31, and an additional $20 charge if paid after March 31 (the late_fee_usd field captures the first $10 tier). The exact current dollar amount of the annual renewal fee could not be confirmed on an official .gov source — the board's own renewal portal/site (DOA listing and labarberboard.org) was inaccessible (Cloudflare 403/connection refused) on every fetch attempt; widely cited secondary sources list it as $50, but that figure is unverified here and was nulled per accuracy policy. The board operates under the Louisiana Department of Labor per RS 37:341; address 4626 Jamestown Ave., Suite 1, Baton Rouge, LA 70808; phone (225) 925-1701. An online renewal portal is provided by the board. This covers a standard barber certificate only (not instructor, shop/establishment, apprentice, or cosmetology licenses).
