Editor's note
'Online' method refers to prepaying and generating the application at apostille.ehawaii.gov; the original document must still be mailed or dropped off. The email address is obfuscated on the page (contact form only), so email is null. The page does not list a separate walk-in street address; the State Capitol address is used for both walk-in and mail. The office may refuse applications contrary to state/federal law or policy.
