About Honolulu County Criminal History

Honolulu County criminal records are divided among the Honolulu Police Department, Hawaiʻi State Judiciary, Hawaii Criminal Justice Data Center, Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation, and Hawaiʻi Sex Offender & Other Covered Offender Search. The right source depends on whether the question concerns an arrest, court case, conviction, custody status, or registry entry. This private guide organizes those official channels so readers can identify the correct portal, counter, address, or telephone number.

Why We Built This Site

Hawaiʻi does not place every part of a criminal history in one county database. HPD creates police and arrest records, First Circuit courts maintain dockets and filed documents, and the Hawaii Criminal Justice Data Center compiles public adult conviction information. The Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation handles custody information, while the state covered-offender registry answers a different public-safety question. This guide brings the verified contacts, portal routes, request steps, and fee details for those distinct offices into a clear Honolulu County reference.

What You Will Find Here

  • Agency contacts: how to reach HPD Records, First Circuit court counters, HCJDC, and state custody systems
  • Record guides: how Honolulu County court cases, arrest logs, and covered-offender entries are found and read
  • Official check walkthroughs: how HCJDC name checks, fingerprint services, and personal access-and-review requests differ
  • Record cleanup guidance: where Hawaiʻi expungement requests begin and why court records may require separate review

What We Cannot Do

This is a privately run reference site with no connection to HPD, the Hawaiʻi State Judiciary, HCJDC, or any other government body. Its limits are straightforward:

  • We cannot run an official background check or pull a criminal record for anyone
  • We cannot submit expungement applications, UIPA requests, or court filings for anyone
  • We cannot issue certified copies of any criminal record, court document, or rap sheet
  • We cannot offer legal advice about a charge, warrant, case, or expungement request
  • We cannot guarantee that every phone number, fee, or address listed on this site is current right now

Only the office that maintains a record, such as HPD, a First Circuit court, or HCJDC, can issue an official or certified copy.

Search Partners

Outside providers operate search boxes shown on some pages. Each provider controls its results, prices, terms, and data practices. A paid signup reached through one of those tools may produce a referral fee that supports the site. Those tools are separate from eCourt Kōkua, eCrim, HPD, and every other government source, and their output is not an official Honolulu County record.
