To apply for a Film Permit with the City of New Orleans
Please contact the office to begin planning your work in the city as early as possible. Office staff is available to consult and assist even in the initial stages of project development. Certain requests and activities such as pyrotechnic effects, street closures, parking requests, or filming in the historic French Quarter and Garden District may require permitting through city agencies other than the Film Permit and may take longer to permit. Please allow extra time to facilitate these requests. Film New Orleans will act as your project’s personal liaison and will provide one-on-one consulting to determine what permits and agencies you will need to make your project a success.
Applicants should submit a completed application as soon as the production has formalized its location choice in New Orleans.
The Film Certificate is issued by Film New Orleans and is a prerequisite for all other City permitting.
