Court Reporter Licensing


Court reporters and Stenographers document and transcribe speech to written form. In many cases a court reporter is also a notary public. The national standard for court reporter typing speed is 225 words per minute, which includes shorthand, as determined by the National Court Reporters Association (NCRA). This organization provides certification programs for the following positions:

Registered Professional Reporter (RPR)
Registered Merit Reporter
Registered Diplomate Reporter
Certified Realtime Reporter
Certified Broadcast Captioner
Certified CART Provider
Certified Legal Video Specialist

In Louisiana court reporting is regulated by the Louisiana Board of Examiners of Certified Shorthand Reporters. Applicants must pass an exam given by an accredited court reporting school, provide evidence of a diploma and be tested on typing speed and accuracy. In addition, the applicant must pay fees, be at least 18 years of age and pass a criminal background check.
