UIPA and Urban Honolulu Records
Public records in Urban Honolulu follow chapter 92F of the Hawaii Revised Statutes, which is the UIPA. The Office of Information Practices in Urban Honolulu is the agency that reads UIPA law for every city, county, and state desk. OIP runs the Attorney of the Day service free of cost.

The DCCA open records page hosts the standard UIPA request form. The same form works for most Urban Honolulu offices that do not have their own intake page. Keep a copy. Paste the record you want in plain words. Date it. Send it to the right desk. That alone clears up most Urban Honolulu phone directory questions before they start.
Urban Honolulu residents can also reach the Bureau of Conveyances for deed and property record questions. The Bureau is part of DLNR and keeps the statewide land record files. Deeds recorded for Urban Honolulu parcels flow through the Bureau, then back to the Real Property Assessment office for the tax rolls. Keep the Bureau number with the other Urban Honolulu phone directory lines. You may need it the same day you call the Clerk.
Urban Honolulu sits inside Honolulu County, and all county-level offices serve the city.
