Hawaii Marriage License Requirements
In Hawaii, applicants seeking a marriage license must present a government-issued photo ID and proof of age. The state does not impose a residency requirement. Individuals aged 18 and older may marry without consent. Those aged 16 or 17 may marry with parental consent. Applicants aged 15 may marry only with both parental consent and approval from a family court. Marriage is not permitted for anyone under age 15. Hawaii does not require a blood test as a condition of marriage.
Marriage licenses in Hawaii do not require witnesses. A statewide fee of $65 applies to all applications. The state health department offers an online pre-application portal to streamline the process. Applicants should contact their county clerk or consult Hawaii's official state health department website to confirm all requirements, verify current fees, and clarify procedures specific to their county before applying.
