How to Find Hawaii Death Records

Death Records in Hawaii

The State of Hawaii�s Department of Health maintains death records for people who died in Hawaii. You can order certified copies of death records if you are an authorized person in person or by mail. You may not order death records from their website

Because vital records in Hawaii are restricted by statute, you must be authorized to request them such as being an immediate family member such as a spouse, parent, adult child or adult sibling, or legal representative.
