Maui, like the rest of Hawaii, issues marriage licenses through the state’s single online eMRS portal rather than a county clerk’s office — and Maui is unusual among the islands in offering both a government-run option and a roster of independent licensed agents to finish the in-person step.
| License fee | $65 total ($60 application fee + $5 online portal fee) — the same statewide fee used across every Hawaii county. |
|---|---|
| Waiting period | None — Hawaii has no statewide waiting period. |
| Documents / ID required | Valid government-issued photo ID for both applicants. A certified birth certificate is required if either applicant is under 19. No state residency or U.S. citizenship is required. |
| License validity | 30 days from and including the date of issuance (Hawaii statewide rule); your in-person agent appointment must happen no more than 30 days before your ceremony. |
| Where & how to apply | Complete the application online at the state’s eMRS portal (emrs.ehawaii.gov) and pay the fee, then appear together in person with a Marriage License Agent to have the license issued — either at the Maui District Health Office (54 South High St., Room 301, Wailuku) or with one of several independent licensed agents based around the island. See the state’s official current agent list before booking, since the roster changes. |
| Office hours | By appointment. Call (808) 984-8210 for current information on Maui license agents; independent agents set their own appointment hours, including some weekend availability. |
Special notes
Frequently asked questions
Is Maui County’s marriage license fee different from the rest of Hawaii?
No. Hawaii runs marriage licensing through one statewide online system, so the $65 total fee ($60 application + $5 online portal fee) is the same on Maui as everywhere else in the state.
Do we have to visit a government office in person on Maui, or can a private agent issue the license?
Either works. Maui offers both the Maui District Health Office and a roster of independent licensed Marriage License Agents around the island — you can choose whichever is more convenient, then complete your online application and appear in person with them.
Is there a waiting period or blood test required in Maui County?
No to both. Hawaii has no waiting period and no blood test requirement anywhere in the state, including Maui.
