A QUICK SUMMARY OF THE OFFICIAL HAWAII STATE
INFO BELOW
It's a very simple process here in
Hawaii to get your marriage license. First, we will
send you a wedding confirmation package. Inside
you will find a one page marriage license questionnaire.
Fill it out and bring it with you for your license
appointment with the notary clerk. The notaries
are independent agents and work from their own homes
or private office. No trip to the courthouse or
blood test is necessary. Their offices are no more
than 10 minutes from your accommodations.
All you need to bring is both valid
picture drivers licenses or passports. A $65 fee
is paid in cash to the notary. The notaries work
by appointment only, so please call ahead of time
to set the best time for you both. You will find
their contact number on the confirmation letter.
Since appointments are made you will not have to
wait in a line. The whole process takes about fifteen
minutes. Please don't forget to bring your marriage
license to the wedding for your minister to sign.
Congratulations and best wishes with much Aloha!

HAWAII STATE OFFICIAL MARRIAGE
LICENSE INFORMATION
A marriage license and marriage certificate are
different documents. The marriage license permits
a marriage to take place. The marriage certificate
indicates that a legal marriage has been performed.
The marriage certificate is prepared
and filed by your licensed marriage officiant or
performer with the Department of Health . A newly
married couple receives one (1) certified copy of
the marriage certificate at no extra charge, upon
payment of the marriage license fee, which will
be sent to the couple by mail (60-120 days) after
the marriage has been performed. If a marriage certificate
is needed sooner than this, you can apply for one
or more additional certified copies.

|
| |
Certified copies of these
records may be issued to authorized individuals and
used for such diverse purposes as school entry, passports,
Social Security participation, driver’s licenses, employment,
sports participation, survivor’s benefits, proof of
property rights, and other needs.
