What this office can apostille
Generally, documents issued by a Hawaii public official (such as certified copies of vital records, court records, or state certificates) and documents notarized by a Hawaii notary. Documents from other states go to that state. Federal documents go to the U.S. Department of State.
Notes we confirmed on the official page
- The official page lists an estimated 7–10 business days and no expedited service.
Before you send anything
- Confirm the destination country and whether it uses apostilles.
- Get a recent certified copy from the office that holds the record. Photocopies are generally refused.
- Follow the official page for the request form, payment method, and return shipping.
