Avoiding Rejection: A Guide to the Hawaii Birth Certificate Apostille Process
Rules for Birth Certificate
Use the Correct Document
You must submit a "Certified Copy" issued by the Hawaii State Department of Health, Office of Health Status Monitoring, Vital Records System. It must have the original seal and signature from the State Registrar.
No Notarization Required (Do Not Do It)
You should NOT have your certified Hawaii birth certificate notarized. The apostille is placed directly on the certified vital record itself, authenticating the signature of the State Registrar. Notarizing it will cause rejection.
Ensure the Document is Original and Unaltered
The certified copy must be in its original condition. Do not staple, tape, or hole-punch the document. The seal and signature must be completely visible.
Complete the Request Form
You must include a completed "Authentication/Apostille Request Form" with your submission. This form provides your contact information and return address.
Include Payment and Return Envelope
Submit the correct fee (check or money order payable to "Department of the Attorney General") and a self-addressed, stamped envelope for the return of your document.
