Kauai District Health Office

Vital records is a prime customer service function of the Administration section. The staff at the Kauai District Health Office (KDHO) registers home births and issues permits for burials and cremations.

KDHO staff provides support and guidance for completing vital records (birth, death civil union, marriage, and divorce certificates, and voluntary establishment of paternity) for events that occurred in Hawaii.

Birth Certificates and Marriage Certificates

KDHO staff are now able to issue birth and marriage certificates for orders submitted online. You may place your order online at vitrec.ehawaii.gov. Please allow 14 business days for processing. If you would like the KDHO to issue your Hawai‘i birth certificate, please note the following:

• You must be a resident of Kauai with a Kauai mailing address.

• Cash and money orders are not accepted at KDHO.
• All orders must be placed and paid for online at vitrec.ehawaii.gov.
• If you would like to pick up your order at our office, be sure to select the “pickup” option when ordering. You will receive an email when your order is ready for pickup at KDHO.

The Kauai District Health Office cannot process in-person request forms. However, forms may be picked up at our office or printed online from our website at Request Forms. For instructions on submitting a mail-in request, please refer to the DOH Vital Records website.

Death Certificates

Death certificates are only issued by the Office of Health Status Monitoring, located on Oahu. For more information on death certificates, please see: DOH Death Certificates.
