Marriage Application

To be married in the State of Hawaii, both parties must be of legal age or have acquired consent from their legal guardian or parents to be able to get married. Consent forms must be obtained directly from the licensing agent, filled up and submitted back. Verification is made via the presentation of the couple’s IDs to the licensing agent before the license is issued. If one of the partHawaii Marriage Licenseies happens to be married before, the previously married individual must present a divorce decree or a death certificate as proof that the former is eligible to get married again.

To make the transaction easier, couples can fill up an online registration form available at the Hawaii Department of Health website. Payment of $60 via credit card is accepted and an additional $5 for processing is also added to the whole transaction. Once the transaction is final, both couples need to present themselves to the marriage licensing agent before the license is issued. The license is only valid for 30 days but can be used throughout the State.  A list of marriage performers is available from the site for couples who wish to have a licensed marriage performer officiate their marriage ceremony.
