Translation Services in Hawaii: Cities and Guidance

Hawaii's apostilles are issued by the Lieutenant Governor, and its birth, death and marriage records all come from a single statewide office in the Department of Health - there is no county-level registrar to go to instead.

The document mix is unlike anywhere on the mainland. Filipino residents are the largest Asian group in the state, many with Ilocano-language records; Japanese, Chinese and Korean records are common; and migrants from the Marshall Islands, Chuuk and Palau under the Compacts of Free Association bring documents in Marshallese and Chuukese.
