You've decided to get married in Hawaii, all the preparations are made and here you are. Now what? Well, the first thing you should do is apply for your Hawaii marriage license.
You will need to contact the
Department of Health
to apply for your Hawaii wedding license. A license is mandated for a legal marriage in Hawaii. This isn't a problem though, there's no waiting period for you once you apply for the license (and are approved) and pay the $60.00 fee.
The regulations for
getting married in Hawaii
are easy to follow and not very restrictive. You don't need to be a Hawaii resident or U.S. citizen to have a legal marriage in Hawaii. This makes it a popular destination for not only Americans, but couples from around the world.

Once you are married, your wedding officiant will prepare the
Hawaii marriage certificate
and send it to the Department of Health. You won't have any further paperwork. One copy is included in the price of the wedding license.
If you would like to purchase additional copies or if you need it sooner, you can make arrangements when you purchase your license.
There really is no more beautiful place on earth to have a wedding. The state of Hawaii makes it incredibly easy for you to have your very important and special day in their tropical paradise.
