Hawaii Public Records

• Are individuals able to obtain arrest information from the state of Hawaii?
  The state offers an online electronic search from the Hawaii Criminal Justice Data Center, which can be found on the Department of the Attorney General's site. This is a to view individual convictions, which is not the same as an arrest search. Arrests are not always prosecuted and convicted and will likely not appear on these reports. You will do better by contacting the sheriff's Department which made the arrest and requesting a copy from them directly. Some policies may impose guidelines, but arrest records are generally considered public with few exceptions.
• Where can I find in Hawaii if law enforcement provides criminal arrest searches?
  Criminal arrest records can be requested directly from the police department. It is not the same as a criminal arrest search, where you see results similar to a background check. Police arrest reports are individual reports taken in by the department that made the arrest, identical to an incident report or any other police report. You will need to know where the arrest occurred to see where to request the report. For a comprehensive search, the Hawaii Criminal Justice Data Center (HCJDC), provided by the attorney general, conducts a background check online. The walk-in location is in Honolulu, where the request can be made in person.
• Where can I find free access in Hawaii to divorce records?
  Court records can be accessed freely using this link http://www.courts.state.hi.us/legal_references/records/search_court_recordsThat will take you to the Hawaii State Judiciary's home page, and you can click on the link Search Court Records to the left. After that, you will see two choices: search the criminal and civil or traffic courts. The Ho'ohiki is a free civil and criminal court search provided by Hawaii's state judiciary. By clicking on the Ho'ohiki hyperlink and after the disclaimer page, you will open a new search page with a few options to search.
