3. You must bring a valid ID and the payment receipt that will be given to you at City/Parish Hall to the Police Department's Alcohol & Noise Control office located at 2100 Jefferson Street, Suite 102-A to process for the bar card. You will fill-out an application, have your picture taken and if applying for a Class A Bar Card you will be fingerprinted.
