Like all US locations, Hawaii
requires licensure for all marriages. However, in the usual
"hang loose" Hawaii lifestyle obtaining your license can be
easy, enjoyable and even fun! On Maui, the State of Hawaii
has authorized independent contractors to issue marriage
licenses. Licenses are immediately valid and yet another
indication of the "hassle-free" nature of getting "Maui'd."
Hawaii has NO waiting period. At this time, there are NO
Blood tests required. If you were divorced less than 60 days
of date of ceremony, written proof is required. Otherwise,
just the date is required at time of application.
You will need an appointment with an authorized licensing
agent to apply for your marriage license. This license may
be used on any island and is valid for a period of 30 days.
You and your spouse-to-be must go together to the
appointment. You each must present a valid picture I.D.
(drivers license or passport), and applicants 19 or under
must have written parental or legal guardian permission.
The license fee is $65.00 payable in *cash only* directly to
the licensing agent. This is your legal document & you must
take it with you to your ceremony. Your Minister/Officiate
will ensure all is filled in & signed, then he/she will
forward to the state for filing.
Your Marriage License will be mailed to you within 90-120
days. You may opt to receive your license earlier by filling
out & mailing in a form (which you will receive from your
licensing agent at meeting).
You may obtain a Marriage License Packet which includes
