How To Request Hawaii Death Records

Hawaii death records, like all vital records for the state, are maintained by the Office of Health Status Monitoring. Also like other vital records, Hawaii death records are considered confidential for 75 years. Prior to this time period, the records can only be accessed by persons who are able to demonstrate a tangible interest in them.

Methods for Accessing Hawaii Death Records

All requests for vital records can be made to the Office of Health Status Monitoring in one of two ways: by mailing in an application and by visiting the office in person. All requests will need a completed application, government-issued ID, and the appropriate fees to be filled.

Who Cannot Access Hawaii Death Records?

All Hawaii vital records are confidential until 75 years after the event in question. This limits the access to only select people who are involved in the event. For Hawaii death records, only the direct spouse and relatives or legal representative can access the Hawaii death record. All other requests must be able to demonstrate a direct and tangible interest in order to receive a copy of the record.
