HCJDC is Hawaii's central repository for criminal history records. It operates under the Hawaii Attorney General and covers statewide felony data, arrest records, and conviction history. An HCJDC search for an Ocean Pointe resident will pull criminal history from all of Hawaii, not just Honolulu County. That makes it the most complete option for a background check.
The agency is at 465 S. King Street, Room 102, Honolulu. Call them at (808) 587-3279 for help before submitting. There are three ways to request a criminal history check. Online through eCrim costs $5 for a name search and $12 for a full report. Walking in at the Honolulu office costs $55. Mailing in a name search costs $30, and a fingerprint-based mail request costs $35. Fingerprint searches reduce the risk of a mismatch on names that are spelled similarly or shared by multiple people.
The HCJDC website is where you access eCrim and review all request options. It also explains what each report type covers and how results are formatted. Results from name searches show arrest and conviction history across Hawaii.
Free public access terminals are available at sites across Oahu. These terminals let you run a criminal history name search at no cost. They're convenient for a quick check, though the results are not certified for official use. The public access terminal list shows locations near Ocean Pointe and other West Oahu communities.
HCJDC also runs the VECHS program, which provides criminal history checks for qualifying organizations. Visit the HCJDC site for details on program eligibility and how to apply.
Hawaii Law on Felony Record Access
State law controls how felony records are accessed and used in Hawaii. The primary statute is HRS Section 846-2.7. This law covers how criminal history data is collected, stored, shared, and protected. It sets rules for which agencies must respond to requests, what information can be disclosed, and what is off-limits. Anyone requesting records should understand how this law applies to their specific situation.
Hawaii's open records framework is the Uniform Information Practices Act. UIPA gives people the legal right to access government-held records, including some criminal justice data. The Office of Information Practices enforces UIPA and handles appeals when agencies deny records requests. If you believe a denial was improper, you can file a written request with OIP for a formal opinion. That process is free and does not require an attorney.
Sealed records, expunged arrests, and juvenile records are not available through public searches. What you can access depends on the type of record, the outcome of the case, and who is making the request.
Expunging Felony Records in Ocean Pointe
Hawaii allows expungement for certain arrests that did not result in conviction or that had qualifying outcomes like a deferred acceptance of a guilty plea. Ocean Pointe residents use the same statewide process through HCJDC. The filing fee is $35, and processing takes around 120 days after HCJDC receives a complete petition. Felony convictions are generally not eligible. Attempting to file for an ineligible case will result in a rejection, and the fee is not typically refunded.
The HCJDC expungements page has the current form, an eligibility checklist, and full instructions. Read the eligibility section carefully before you file. The form asks for detailed case information, so gather your paperwork before you start. Once the petition is approved, HCJDC removes the record from its database and notifies the courts to seal the related case file.
After expungement, the arrest will not show in standard public searches or most commercial background check databases. That said, certain agencies, particularly those overseeing professional licenses or government clearances, can still access expunged records under specific legal exceptions. A legal aid attorney familiar with Hawaii law can explain what an expungement would and would not cover in a given case. For broader questions about state-held records, the Department of Law Enforcement UIPA request page at law.hawaii.gov is a useful resource.
Note: Federal records and records from other states are outside the scope of Hawaii expungement and must be addressed through separate processes.Honolulu County Felony Records
