Hawaii - Disputing Public Records

Criminal Records

Obtaining an Official Record

For a fee, you can obtain your criminal history online, or by walking into a Public Access Site:

Sealing/Expunging Records

Hawaii charges a fee for expunging criminal records, and the process takes approximately four months (120 days). The Hawaii Criminal Justice Data Center (HCJDC) offers answers in their FAQ specifically addressing expungement.

Civil Records

Civil records generally include judgments, liens and evictions, as well as other family and small claims cases.

To dispute evictions in Hawaii, please contact the jurisdiction that processed the eviction:

Bankruptcies

Bankruptcies can stay on your credit record for as long as 10 years. The most important place these records can affect you is on your credit report. To dispute a bankruptcy record that is inaccurate, contact each of the three major U.S. credit bureaus. Each has a process online for disputing records that appear on your file.

Disputing the actual public record can be much more challenging since the consumer is the one who files for the bankruptcy in the first place. More information can be found on the United States Courts website.
