Answer 1

How to Apply for Certified Copies of Vital Records

* All applications requesting certified copies of birth, death, marriage, and divorce certificates must generally be made in writing (application forms may be downloaded from this site - see below). Requests may also be placed for birth and marriage certificates on a limited basis through the Internet (www.ehawaiigov.org/ohsm). Telephone, FAX, or e-mail requests are not accepted.
* Fees for certified copies of birth, death, marriage, and divorce certificates are identical:

o $10.00 for the first copy of each certificate, and
o $4.00 for each additional copy of the same certificate ordered at the same time.

* There is an additional fee for requests made through the Internet as follows:

o $1.50 for a request of one (the first) copy of each certificate, if the requested certificate is found, or for the cost of conducting the search, if the requested certificate is not found, and
o $0.25 for each additional copy of the same certificate ordered at the same time.

* Fees may be paid by cash (except for applications made by postal mail), money order, certified check, or cashier’s check - make money order and checks payable to the State Department of Health.
* Fees must be paid by a charge to a credit card for requests made through the Internet.
* All fees for certified copies are payable in advance and nonrefundable. If no record is found after a search is conducted, the fees are retained to cover the cost of the search.
* Once an order has been received and processed, a $10.00 fee will be charged for any request to make changes to the order.

Apply In Person

Walk-in service is available:

* Days - Monday through Friday (excluding holidays)
* Hours - 7:45 a.m. to 2:30 p.m.
* Location - Room 103 (1st floor) of the Health Department building, 1250 Punchbowl Street (corner of Beretania and Punchbowl Streets)

Certified copies are usually not issued on the day the application is made. Same-Day service may be provided upon presentation of written documentation establishing the need for urgency. Certified copies will normally be available for pick-up about 10 working days after the request is approved. The pick-up time may be extended for records that are very old, because the search to locate the record may take longer, or in the process of being filed, because the official record is still being created.

Application forms are available in the building’s lobby area and should be filled in prior to coming to the counter in Room 103.
