Hawaii has no residency requirements or waiting period. If you are 19 years of age or younger please bring your birth certificate. If this is not your first marriage, no proof of prior divorce is required, however, you will be asked statistical information regarding the divorce. When you request a license information packet from Hawaii, you will receive a form which you should complete at home. Bring the form along with you, in case your luggage is delayed or misplaced.
