Getting Legally Married in Hawaii: Requirements for US Couples
Legal ceremony availableWhat the law requires
As a US state, Hawaii follows US marriage law. No waiting period, no residency requirement, no blood test. Both parties must apply in person for a marriage license at a Hawaii State Department of Health office. The license costs $65 online ($70 in person) and is valid for 30 days. Any licensed officiant can perform the ceremony.
Do your guests need a visa?
No visa for US passport holders on a typical wedding-length stay in USA. Guests just need a passport valid for the travel dates (six months beyond, to be safe).
Marriage laws and document requirements change. Confirm with your planner or the country's consulate before you book.
