Getting Your Hawaii Marriage Certificate is Easier Than Ever

Acquiring a copy of your Hawaii marriage certificate on your own can feel like a massive headache. You have to make sure you have the right documents. Then you need to sign in online, make a phone call that feels like it might never end, or wait in a potentially long line in person, all for the privilege of having a simple piece of paperwork in hand.

If you're ready for an easier way to obtain your Hawaii marriage certificate, DoNotPay is here to help.

Is There a Difference Between a Marriage License and a Marriage Certificate?

Your marriage license grants you permission to get married. It is an application that you will need to fill out, sign, and have signed by your officiant before you and your partner are considered to be legally married.

Your marriage certificate, on the other hand, is the legal document that serves as proof of your marriage. It is used for a variety of purposes.

• A marriage certificate is needed to legally change your name on certain documents.
• You'll need to have your marriage certificate to share in your partner's health insurance.
• You also need your marriage certificate to update your tax records as a married couple.

If you don't have your marriage certificate, you may find yourself scrambling to prove the relationship between yourself and your spouse. Whether you need to get a copy of your marriage certificate after losing the original or you have never had a formal copy, DoNotPay can help.

What Documents Do You Need for Your Hawaii Marriage Certificate?

If you're applying for a copy of your Hawaii marriage certificate, you will need:

1. A copy of your government-issued photo ID
2. A cashier's check or money order in the amount of the required fee

Applying for Your Hawaii Marriage Certificate Yourself

The Office of the Status Monitoring receives and preserves vital records for events that occurred in Hawaii. It is a unit of the Hawaii State Department of Health. Orders are shipped via First Class Mail through the U.S. Postal Service.

To apply for your Hawaii marriage certificate yourself, you will need to:

Apply Online

1. Fill out the order form online
2. Make sure you are prepared to issue payment by debit card or credit card
3. Upload your government-issued ID online
4. Wait for your marriage certificate to arrive

Errors in the application form could delay processing and make it take considerably longer to get the marriage certificate in your hands. Worse, you may not even realize why there is a delay.

When ordering online, you will pay a portal administration fee of $2.50 for each increment of up to five (5) record copies.

Requesting a  certified copy will cost you a total fee of $12.50 including the search fee, whether the vital record is found or not.

Apply by Mail

You can also choose to mail in your marriage certificate request. It will need to include:

• A check or money order in the amount of the fee
• Your full marriage certificate request application
• Documents to prove your identity--usually a copy of your ID

Mailing in your application, while sometimes more convenient than handling it online, can also add to the time it takes to get your marriage certificate in your hands since you will have to wait for it to arrive. If it goes missing in the mail or there are carrier delays, it can take even longer to get your marriage certificate.

Apply in Person

You can go to the vital records office to obtain your marriage certificate in person. However, expect that you will have to wait in line, deal with potential delays, and, in some cases, wait for that documentation to be looked up. It could take considerable wasted time during your day to get that vital marriage certificate in your hands.
