To get married in Hawaii, a Marriage License must be received from the Department of Health before the Wedding. No blood tests (or divorce records) are required, only valid photo ID's and $60 cash.*

*Important: If you are under 19 years old, please bring your Birth Certificate and a Photo ID as proof of legal age to marry. If you have been divorced less than two months, please bring your Divorce decree.

Single persons 18 years of age and above may marry without parental consent. Wedding packages do not include a Marriage License, which can only be obtained by the Bride & Groom by appearing in person together to apply.

No assistance is necessary to get a Marriage License, just a simple one-page Application form (which only the Bride & Groom know the answers).

Now you can expedite your application process and apply for your Marriage License online at:

Once you have filled out your online Marriage License Application and $65.00 online payment, just visit a MARRIAGE LICENSE AGENT to pick up your MARRIAGE LICENSE. Bring your ID's with you when you go.

To obtain your Marriage License on the Big Island, please contact the nearest Office to you in Kona or Hilo.

Please take note of three important terms and their meanings:
- Marriage License Application: A one-page form you must fill out and bring to the Department of Health (or Health Dept. Agent), along with your ID's and $60.00 processing fee (cash only), to receive your Marriage License.
- Marriage License: The Dept. of Health will give you a MARRIAGE LICENSE, which you need in order to get married in Hawaii. Bring that with you for the Minister to sign at your Wedding.
- Marriage Certificate: The Dept. of Health will mail you your official MARRIAGE CERTIFICATE after they process your Marriage License (signed by the Minister) following your Wedding.

Your official Marriage Certificate will take a few months to arrive by mail. You may order an official Marriage Record by filling out the "Green Form" (Marriage Records Request). The copy arrives faster than the original. The cost is $10.00 (money order when ordering by mail, or cash in person).

*Please do not confuse your official MARRIAGE CERTIFICATE (from the State of Hawaii) with our souvenir Wedding Certificate from Bridal Dream Wedding Company.

The Hawaii Dept. of Health is open from 8:00am to 3:30pm.

Bring your IDs with you, and the $60.00 fee. Cash only.

After you receive your Marriage License, bring it with you to the Wedding Ceremony. The Minister will sign it after your Ceremony. Then he will send your completed Marriage License back to the Dept. of Health for processing.

In a few days, you may go back to the Dept. of Health and pay them $10.00 for a copy of your official Marriage Certificate. (Or you can wait patiently for the original to arrive.)
