Maui, Hawaii Marriage License Info

Here's step by step instructions to obtain your marriage license in Maui, Hawaii:

In order to be legally married, you'll need to get a marriage license in the state of Hawaii. While we can answer any questions you have about this process, the government will require you to get the license yourself, as opposed to us getting it for you. Here’s a step by step process:


Step One: Go to the following website to fill out the Marriage License Application. Please note that your online application will be available for the issuance of a marriage or civil union license by an agent in the State of Hawaii up to one year from the application date. After a year, your application will be removed from the system. There will be no refunds for unused applications.

Step Two: Set an appointment with a Hawaii State Marriage License Agent in person before the ceremony. We suggest calling or emailing to make this appointment 30-60 days before your ceremony to get your preferred date and time. When emailing, make sure you give them your Locator ID from your Marriage License Application and your availability to make it easy on them to get you booked!  This is a very short meeting prior to the marriage ceremony where the couple will review the application, show ID, and sign the worksheet in the presence of the state agent. The agents are usually available for appointments Monday-Friday 9am-5pm, you may request a Saturday/Sunday appointment (holidays excluded). There is a list of agents on the website, but here’s a list as well.
