Hawaiʻi Residents Directory Is Not a Records Office. This is a privately run reference, so it cannot retrieve or certify a file, confirm who lives at a location, or change a public database. Send those requests to the agency that keeps the record. Call 911 for an emergency. If someone is stalking or harassing you, contact local police.
Where to Ask About a Record
Choose the Hawaiʻi custodian that holds the record you need. The right contact depends on whether the question is about a street, an older directory, a court case, a parcel, or a government file.
- Parcel or deed history: contact the county real-property office or the statewide Bureau of Conveyances.
- Older names and addresses: ask the Hawaiʻi State Archives, State Library, or the library holding the directory.
- Public case details: use the Judiciary's eCourt Kōkua system or the court clerk for a copy.
- Vital certificates: check eligibility and current filing steps with the Department of Health.
- A government record not online: send a clear request under Hawaiʻi's Uniform Information Practices Act to the agency that keeps it.
For business filings, Hawaiʻi's Business Registration Division is one public-records custodian with a published counter contact. It can answer questions about its own entity and trade-name files; send other record requests to their proper offices.
