Public Records in Hawaii

Hawaii public records are governed by the Hawaii Uniform Information Practices Act (UIPA), which gives residents and the public the right to access government documents and records. From property ownership and court records to business filings and vital statistics, Hawaii maintains extensive public databases across its 5 counties. Hawaii's small geography means many records are centralized at the state level through the Office of Information Practices, with the Bureau of Conveyances handling all land records statewide. Whether you're conducting a background check, researching property history, or verifying business information, the resources below provide direct access to official Hawaii public records.

What you can find
  • Property and real estate records
  • Court records (civil, criminal, and probate)
  • Business filings and corporate registrations
  • Vital records (birth, death, marriage, divorce)
  • UCC liens and secured filings
  • Professional licenses and notary commissions
How to access Hawaii public records

Most Hawaii public records can be accessed online through state agency portals like the Hawaii State Archives and the Hawaii Department of Health Office of Health Status Monitoring, or through individual county clerk websites. For records not published online, agencies accept written requests under the Hawaii Uniform Information Practices Act — usually by mail or email — and must respond within the statutory deadline. Certified copies of vital records and court documents typically require a small fee and proof of identity.
