Hawaii Consents by Adult Adopted's Spouse/Civil Union Partner is a legal document that allows an adopted adult's spouse/civil union partner to access the adopted's original birth certificate. This document must be signed by both the adopted and their spouse/civil union partner and notarized by a notary public. It is then submitted to the Hawaii Department of Health for processing. There are two types of Hawaii Consents by Adult Adopted's Spouse/Civil Union Partner: 1) Consent to Release Original Birth Certificate and 2) Consent to Release Information from the Original Birth Certificate. The Consent to Release Original Birth Certificate allows the adopted's spouse/civil union partner to access the original birth certificate without the adopted's consent. The Consent to Release Information from the Original Birth Certificate allows the adopted's spouse/civil union partner to access specific information from the original birth certificate with the adopted's consent.
