How to Order Ewa Gentry Birth Records

To open an order online, set up an eHawaii account. You will need to upload a clear photo ID. The form asks for the registrant's full legal name at birth, the date of birth, the island of birth, and both parents' names. A state ID, a U.S. passport, or a driver's license is accepted. The Birth and Marriage Certificates page on the DOH site lists each accepted ID.

• Full legal name on the Ewa Gentry birth record
• Date and island of birth
• Both parents' full names, including mother's maiden name
• Your tie to the registrant
• A valid state or federal photo ID
• Proof of the family tie when not clear from names alone

Mail orders go to P.O. Box 3378, Honolulu, HI 96801 with a check or money order made out to the State Department of Health. Processing for any Ewa Gentry birth record runs six to eight weeks by mail or online. Walk-in visits move faster, often the same day.
