BEGIN YOUR FOREVER IN HAWAII

The islands of Hawaii form a diverse and captivating archipelago, each offering a distinct atmosphere for couples planning a wedding or honeymoon.

Oahu is the vibrant heart of the islands, home to the cosmopolitan energy of Honolulu and the iconic Waikiki Beach. It blends urban sophistication with tropical beauty, making it ideal for couples who want both lively nightlife and scenic ceremony locations.

Maui is often considered the most romantic island, known for its golden beaches, luxury resorts, and breathtaking sunsets. The scenic Road to Hana and the dramatic landscapes of Haleakalā National Park create unforgettable backdrops for both weddings and honeymoon adventures.

Kauai, the “Garden Isle,” is a haven of lush greenery, waterfalls, and dramatic cliffs. Natural wonders such as the Na Pali Coast offer a sense of seclusion and untouched beauty, perfect for intimate ceremonies and couples seeking tranquility.

The island of Hawaii Island—often called the Big Island—offers striking contrasts, from black-sand beaches to active volcanoes within Hawaii Volcanoes National Park. It’s an ideal destination for couples drawn to adventure and unique landscapes.

For those looking for exclusivity and serenity, Lanai and Molokai provide a more private and authentic Hawaiian experience, far from the crowds.

Together, the Hawaiian Islands offer an exceptional variety of settings, allowing every couple to find the perfect place to celebrate their love and begin their journey together.

HAWAII MARRIAGE LICENCE INFORMATION

  • To be legally married in Hawaii by our licensed minister, you must first obtain a marriage license issued by the State of Hawaii, Department of Health. Please follow the steps below carefully.
    Important Notes:
  • The certificate included in our service is a keepsake only and not a legal document.
  • Witnesses are not required for your marriage in Hawaii.
  • If you are planning a vow renewal, no marriage license is needed.
  • Non–U.S. citizens may require an Apostille for legal recognition in their home country

1. Apply for Your Marriage License

The application must be completed personally by the couple – we cannot apply on your behalf. You can apply online through the Hawaii Marriage and Civil Union Registration System.

2. In-Person Verification & License Worksheet

License Worksheet Both partners must appear in person before a State of Hawaii licensing agent to verify identity and receive your Marriage License Worksheet.
You will need:

  • Government-issued photo ID (passport, driver’s license, or military ID)
  • Your application confirmation details

Appointments are required. If you are unable to attend during regular office hours, you may arrange to meet with an off-duty agent. For any legal questions regarding your marriage, please contact the State of Hawaii Department of Health, or your legal advisor. We are not authorized to provide legal advice.

3. Bring Your Worksheet to the Ceremony

You must present your Marriage License Worksheet to the officiant before the ceremony. Without this document, the marriage cannot be legally performed.
If You Forget Your Worksheet please do not leave to retrieve it, as this may delay or cancel your ceremony. A symbolic ceremony can still take place; however, it will not be legally binding until:

  • You meet the officiant later
  • The document is signed, dated, and officially submitted
  • This will incur an additional fee.

Please note: the legal wedding date will be the date the officiant completes the paperwork, not the ceremony date.

AFTER THE WEDDING

Your officiant will:

  • Sign and date your Marriage License Worksheet
  • Submit your marriage details electronically to the State of Hawaii

Processing timelines:

  • Submission may take up to 3 days (especially during busy schedules)
  • State processing typically takes an additional 3–5 business days

Once processed, you can download a temporary certificate using your document locator number.

Your official marriage certificate will be mailed to the address provided.
Delivery times vary, but generally:

  • Within the U.S.: up to 30 days
  • International delivery: may take 6–8+ weeks
    If you have not received your certificate after 3 months, please contact us and we will assist with a follow-up.

Apostille (For International Couples)

Many countries require an Apostille to validate your marriage certificate internationally. This document is issued by the Lieutenant Governor’s Office.

Important:

  • Inform the licensing agent during your visit if you require an Apostille
  • You will receive instructions and the necessary forms

If you did not apply while in Hawaii, you can still request it afterward. We can guide you through the process if needed.
