State rules
Apostilles and notarization in Hawaii
Apostilles and certifications for Hawaii documents are issued by the Office of the Lieutenant Governor at the State Capitol in Honolulu.
The fee is 3 dollars per document, raised from 1 dollar in July 2025, and the office launched an online portal in late 2025 that allows applications, payment, and tracking to be completed electronically.
Hawaii has a distinctive extra step for private documents. A document notarized by a Hawaii notary public must first have the notary's signature certified at the circuit court where the notary is registered, for a 3 dollar authentication fee payable to the court, before the Lieutenant Governor's office will attach an apostille.
For USCIS filings from Hawaii, translations must be certified, not notarized. USCIS requires the translator's signed certification of accuracy and competence, and notarization is not a USCIS requirement.
Hawaii notaries public are commissioned and regulated by the Department of the Attorney General, which publishes the state Notary Public Manual.
A notarized translation destined for an apostille in Hawaii must pass through the circuit court certification of the notary's signature before the Lieutenant Governor's office will process it.
Documents
Documents commonly translated for the Honolulu Field Office
Among the eight languages Eagle Translate supports, Spanish is the most commonly spoken at home in Honolulu.
Hawaii has a long established Portuguese community that traces back to contract laborers who began arriving from Madeira and the Azores in 1878, so Portuguese language civil and church records still appear in family history and citizenship files.

Questions
Questions about translations for the Honolulu Field Office
- Will a translation from Eagle Translate be accepted here?
- Every certified translation we deliver carries the translator's signed statement that the translation is complete and accurate and that the translator is competent to translate, which is the certification 8 CFR 103.2(b)(3) requires for a foreign language document filed with USCIS. The officer reviewing your file decides on your evidence, and we do not speak for USCIS.
- Do I file the original document as well as the translation?
- Keep the original. A certified translation is filed alongside the foreign language document rather than in place of it, and it is common to be asked for both. The certificate names the source document it belongs to, so the two can be matched to each other.
- What happens to stamps, seals, and signatures?
- They are not dropped. Stamps, seals, signatures, and reference codes are described in bracketed form at the position they hold in the original, and the page structure is preserved, so a reviewer can set the translation beside the source document and follow it line by line.
- How is terminology from another country's legal system handled?
- A term with no exact United States equivalent is rendered to carry the meaning it has in the system that issued it, rather than swapped for an American term that would change what the document says. Where a term needs explaining, the explanation sits in brackets beside it instead of replacing it.
- A document has been asked for at short notice. How quickly can it be done?
- Certified delivery is 2 to 3 business days. Through 31 December 2026 the upgrade to Premium 1 to 2 business days delivery is applied automatically at the Certified price, so the faster option costs the same as the standard one.
- What does the certificate attest to?
- It attests to the accuracy of the translation. It states in those words that it does not attest to the authenticity of the source document or to the truth of its contents. That boundary is what makes it a certification a reviewer can rely on rather than a claim about your evidence.
