Honolulu County White Pages

The Honolulu County White Pages pulls together the main sources you need when you want to look up a person on Oahu. Start with a name. Add an address if you have one. The City and County of Honolulu runs its own clerk, police, property, and planning offices, and each one posts records that feed into a full White Pages search. This page points you to the right desks, the right portals, and the right phone numbers for Honolulu County. Use the search tool below to kick things off, then scroll for the local links.

Honolulu County Property White Pages

Property records are often the first stop for a White Pages search tied to an address. The City and County of Honolulu runs its parcel lookup through the qPublic platform. You can pull up ownership, a Tax Map Key, assessed value, building traits, and the tax bill for any Oahu parcel. A basic search is free. Open the tool from the Real Property Assessment Division page to begin.

Take a look at the qPublic portal for Honolulu below before you search. The page shows how to look up a parcel by address, TMK, or owner name.

The Honolulu qPublic portal is the main way to pull parcel data without a fee, and it ties right back into the Real Property Assessment Division.

TMK is the key. Honolulu County uses a 9-digit Tax Map Key format. The first digit is 1 for Oahu. After that come the zone, section, plat, and parcel. You can type the TMK with or without dashes. Do not add the island code. For example, TMK (1) 9-4-044-078 should be typed as 940440780000 or 9-4-044-078. The system caps results at 1,000 rows, so tight criteria help. Address searches work best without a suffix like "Street" or "Road."

Assessed values update once a year, on December 15. Ownership, parcel lines, and building data refresh daily. The full site reloads once a week. Tax bills run on a fiscal year that begins July 1. Property tax payments can be made online, in person, by phone at 808-825-6819, or by mail to P.O. Box 4200, Honolulu, HI 96812-4200. The Real Property Tax Collection office sits at 530 South King Street, Room 115. Call 808-768-3980 for the main line.

Permits and Zoning Records

The Department of Planning and Permitting, known as DPP, handles land use, zoning, and building permits on Oahu. When a White Pages search turns up an address, DPP is where you check what has been built, what was approved, and what is under review. The department issues permits for new construction, additions, electrical, plumbing, mechanical work, and more.

Open the DPP landing page below to see the full set of online tools, maps, and permit search options the department posts.

The DPP home page is the starting point for zoning, subdivision, and permit research in Honolulu County.

DPP also runs code enforcement. If a building has open violations or a stop-work order, those show up in the permit history. Zoning maps tell you the class of a lot, which sets what can go on it. Staff can also issue zoning verification letters. Call (808) 768-8000 or stop by 650 South King Street in Honolulu for help.

Honolulu City Clerk White Pages

The Office of the City Clerk is the official record keeper for the Honolulu City Council. The office logs minutes, agendas, bills, and resolutions. It runs city elections. It also files fictitious business names, which means a White Pages search for a local business name often lands here. DBA filings are public, and the clerk can certify copies on request.

The clerk also acts as a channel for UIPA requests under Chapter 92F of the Hawaii Revised Statutes. Many agency records sit with the department that made them, but the clerk routes general city record requests to the right desk.

Check the clerk landing page below for links to council records, election info, and DBA forms.

The City Clerk home lists office hours, forms, and election updates. The office is at 530 South King Street, Room 100, Honolulu. Phone (808) 768-5560.

Need a copy of a council ordinance or a legislative archive item? The clerk keeps those on file, some dating back decades. The online archive holds most current bills and resolutions. For older paper files, call ahead and make an appointment.

Honolulu Police Records Lookup

The Honolulu Police Department, or HPD, is the main law enforcement agency for Oahu. The Records Section handles police reports, incident logs, traffic accident reports, and arrest records. A person looking up a report as a party to the case can ask for it in person, by mail, or through the HPD website. You need a valid photo ID.

Below is the HPD home page. Start there for report requests, daily arrest logs, and the Records Section contact info.

The HPD site posts online services, crime stats, and request forms. The Records Section sits at 801 South Beretania Street. Call (808) 529-3111 for help.

Traffic accident reports go out to parties named in the report and their insurance reps. General incident reports go to the victim or an authorized rep. Fees vary by page count and type. A formal UIPA request works for records that staff do not post online. Most requests turn around in a few business days. Older reports can take a bit longer. Sealed items and active case files will not be released.

Court Records in Honolulu County White Pages

Oahu falls in the First Circuit of the Hawaii State Judiciary. That covers the Circuit Court, District Court, and Family Court for the entire island. A White Pages search for court ties runs through eCourt Kokua, the state-wide free portal. You can search by name, case number, attorney, or ticket number. Results list party names, filing dates, hearing dates, and case status.

Traffic, small claims up to $5,000, and civil matters up to $40,000 stay in District Court. Felonies, large civil cases, and probate move up to Circuit Court. Family Court covers divorce, custody, child support, adoption, and protection orders. Sealed cases, juvenile matters, and some confidential items will not show in a public search.

For a certified copy of any court paper, reach out to the clerk at the court where the case was filed. The First Circuit courts sit mostly in downtown Honolulu. The main phone line for the judiciary is (808) 539-4900. The Kapolei District Court and the Ewa Family Court also run cases for the west side.

Motor Vehicles and Licensing Records

The Department of Customer Services runs the Division of Motor Vehicles and Licensing for Honolulu County. It handles vehicle registration, driver's license issuance, and plate transfers. Motor vehicle records sit here, though release is limited under state and federal law. Most folks use this office for a renewal or a new license. Satellite City Halls across Oahu take real property tax payments and offer most of the same services as the main counter.

Business licensing falls under the same roof. Liquor licenses, bicycle licenses, and a few regulatory permits are issued here. A White Pages search for a registered business on Oahu can cross-check with these records. Call (808) 768-9100 for the main office at 650 South King Street.

Honolulu City Council White Pages

The Honolulu City Council has nine members. Each one covers a district. A White Pages search tied to an Oahu address can use the Council's "Find My Councilmember" tool to match a neighborhood to a rep. District I covers the west side including Ewa Beach and Kapolei. District II covers central and windward areas including Wahiawa and the North Shore. District IV covers East Honolulu including Hawaii Kai and Waikiki. District VIII covers Aiea, Pearl City, and Mililani. District IX covers Waipahu and the Ewa plain.

Council records are open to the public. Agendas, bills, resolutions, minutes, and meeting videos post online. Public testimony can be sent by email or given in person. Expenditure reports for each council office also post online for clear public review. Staff at (808) 768-5000 can help you track a file.

State Records That Pair With Honolulu Lookups

Some White Pages data sits at the state level, not the county. Vital records for anyone born or married on Oahu since 1909 are held by the Hawaii Department of Health Vital Records Section at 1250 Punchbowl Street, Room 103, Honolulu. The first certified copy costs $10. Each extra copy of the same record at the same time costs $4. Mail requests need a photo ID copy.

Criminal history sits with the Hawaii Criminal Justice Data Center. The agency runs eCrim and posts a full criminal history FAQ. A name-based check costs $30. HCJDC is at 465 South King Street, Room 101. Phone (808) 586-3000.

Land records for Oahu flow through the Hawaii Bureau of Conveyances, a state agency, not the county. The Bureau is at 1151 Punchbowl Street, Honolulu. Phone (808) 587-0147. UIPA requests for any city or state office go through the Office of Information Practices. OIP is at 250 South Hotel Street, Suite 107. Phone (808) 586-1400.
