Obtain the Record[edit | edit source]
Local government authorities and clergymen recorded some pre-1860 birth records. You will find these at the Hawaii State Archives, the Department of Health, and the Daughters of the American Revolution Library in Honolulu.
With approximate birth years and places, you can locate birth records from 1896-1919 on microfilm through the Family History Library.
Delayed birth records are also available on microfilm through the Family History Library 1859-1903 and 1904-1925.
With full names, dates and places of an event, you can order a copy of the birth certificate for a fee from the Hawaii Department of Health or VitalChek.
Restrictions for persons born within the last 100 years:
To obtain a copy of the birth certificate for those born within the last 100 years, you must be:
- The person on the certificate
- The parent or grandparent of the person on the certificate
- The spouse of the person on the certificate
- The child or grandchild of the person on the certificate
- The sibling of the person on the certificate
- The aunt, uncle, or cousin of the person on the certificate
- The legal guardian of the person on the certificate
- Anyone who has legal interest in the certificate
- NOTE: A copy of the birth certificate cannot be obtained by anyone except those listed above until 100 years have passed from the date of the birth.
If you do not want to order the birth record, there are other records with birth information you can search.
