(1) The pledgor's name and address.
(2) The pledgor's date of birth.
(3) The distinctive number from the pledgor's Louisiana driver's license, driver's license from another state, international driver's license, passport, military identification, or identification issued by a government agency or the United States Postal Service.
(4) The date of the pawn transaction.
(5) A clear and detailed description of the pledged things.
(6) The amount of the cash advanced, designated as the "amount financed".
(7) The maturity date of the pawn transaction.
(8) The total of the interest and pawn service charges, designated as the "finance charge".
(9) The total amount financed plus the finance charge which must be paid to redeem the pledged things on the maturity date, designated as the "total of payments".
(10) The annual percentage rate.
(11) A statement to the effect that the pledgor is not obligated to redeem the pledged things and that the pledged things shall be forfeited to the pawnbroker on the next business day after the maturity date. In the event the pawnshop is not open for business on the maturity date, then the forfeiture date shall be the day immediately following the next business day the pawnshop is open after the maturity date.
(12) The name and address of the pawn shop.
(13) A blank line for the pledgor's signature.

The new maturity date shall be extended beyond the original maturity date by a period equal to the number of monthly interest and service charge payments made. In such instances the pawnbroker may either provide the pledgor with a new pawn ticket or designate on the original pawn ticket the new maturity date.
