There are two options for the Hawaii Marriage License, Religious Ceremony or Civil Union. Most couples want a Religious Ceremony Hawaii Marriage License even if you do not want a religious ceremony.

Religious Ceremony marriages are recognized by all states and territories in the USA as well as every country in the World. Same-sex religious weddings are only recognized in countries where same-sex marriage is legal.
