Do you need to get information about a marriage that took place in Hawaii? There are a couple of ways to get access to Hawaii marriage records. We’ll cover all of them here so you can choose the approach that best suits your own needs.

Getting Certified Records

Among the 50 states, Hawaii is the single most popular destination for people willing to travel to find the best location for their wedding. And with all the state’s natural beauty and romances, why not? That means there’s a better than average chance the marriage records you need will be kept by the state of Hawaii. Hawaii only grants copies of records to people with specific kinds of relationships to the person being researched. If you have such a relationship (as defined on the state website) you are allowed to request records. At the official website (listed below), you will be able to request all kinds of vital records such as birth certificates, divorce decrees and marriage licenses.

There is a fee to obtain these records. In order to receive a copy, you must download, print, and complete a form and submit it with payment. If the state of Hawaii approves your request, you will then receive your records within two to three weeks.

Please realize that a properly completed form does not guarantee you will receive the records you requested, as the state has an elaborate set of requirements you must meet before they will send you records. If you want additional certified copies of the same records, you can get them for four dollars per additional copy. But what if you need the facts about this marriage now?

When You Just Need the Facts Fast

For situations where all you need is information rather than a certified copy of a document, there’s a much faster way to go. Using a commercial Marriage Records Search service, you can get the details of a Hawaii marriage in literally minutes.

These services aren’t a part of the state. They’re indepenedent businesses that use information provided by the states to get you the information you need. It is possible for the service to get you your information almost instantly. That’s because they are simply looking up the facts about the marriage in their database instead of finding and creating a certified copy of the actual document.

As you can see, there are clear differences between the various ways of getting information. If you need a certified copy of the marriage documents, you need to start at the state’s website (listed below).
