Art. 1922. Money judgments; judgment debtor; date of birth; social security number
A. A final judgment for the payment of money shall include the date of birth of all parties against whom it is rendered, if the date of birth is known by the attorney preparing the judgment. However, the failure to include the date of birth of the judgment debtors shall not affect the validity of the judgment.
B.(1) A final judgment for the payment of money shall also include the last four digits of the social security number of the judgment debtors, if known by the attorney preparing the judgment. However, the failure to include such information shall not affect the validity of the judgment.

However, the failure to include such information shall not affect the validity of the lien.

If any judgment or lien being recorded does not include the information required by this Article, the recorder shall be entitled to collect a fee not to exceed twenty-five dollars per debtor in addition to the applicable fee set forth in R.S. 13:841.
(2) The fee authorized by Subparagraph (1) of this Paragraph shall not apply if, at the time of recording the judgment, the creditor attaches to and records with the judgment an affidavit setting forth the information required by Paragraph B of this Article or by Civil Code Article 3352(A)(5).
