Don&#8217;t ask me why, or how they picked those colors.<br \/>\nI&#8217;ve seen some marriage licenses from other States, and they are very pretty. Ours&#8230;are &#8230;.not as good.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<h3>THE BIG NEXT STEP\u2026<\/h3>\n<p>Once you get your license, just make sure to bring it with you on the day of your wedding. After we are through with your ceremony, you will then sign your marriage license to make it official (even though it&#8217;s not needed). Our minister will then take your wedding license and register it online. It will take the Department of Health two to three days to process your marriage license. After that short wait, a printable copy of your marriage certificate, which can be used for health insurance and bank name changes, will be available for download. Your official marriage certificate will arrive in the mail within 2 to 3 months. You will need your official marriage certificate for anything government-related: passports, citizenship. If you must receive your marriage certificate sooner than later, you can request that your certificate be expedited sooner by filling out a form, and paying $10 USD, via check or online.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" style=\"border: 0;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/maps\/embed?pb=!1m18!1m12!1m3!1d3717.082918206695!2d-157.85799478459478!3d21.307739683570578!2m3!1f0!2f0!3f0!3m2!1i1024!2i768!4f13.1!3m3!1m2!1s0x7c006ddfbff186bb%3A0xb9e90ef873c0b642!2sHawaii+State+Department+of+Health!5e0!3m2!1sen!2sus!4v1557874527620!5m2!1sen!2sus\" width=\"600\" height=\"450\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><br \/>\n<em><strong>This where you need to go to get your marriage license<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">IF YOU NEED TO GET YOUR MARRIAGE LICENSE ON THE WEEKEND OR A HOLIDAY YOU CAN!<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>You will need to apply and pay for your marriage license online. \u00a0 Then, you will need to contact an independent wedding agent. \u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.dreamweddingshawaii.com\/independent-wedding-agents-in-hawaii\/\">That list of agents can be found by clicking here<\/a><\/p>\n<h3><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">IMPORTANT LINKS:<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/health.hawaii.gov\/vitalrecords\/marriage-licenses\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">The Department of Health\u2019s official marriage license website<\/a>\u00a0&#8211; includes great information on who&#8217;s is eligible to get married.
