Maui County Booking Reports Online

Maui runs an Online Public Records Portal for arrest records and police reports. Users set up an account, send a request, and track status. Electronic copies come by email after the review is done. The portal is the main digital gateway for Maui County booking reports. Simple requests are filled within 10 business days. Complex asks may take longer, per UIPA.

Arrests can happen by warrant, oral order, on suspicion, by a witness at the scene, or by an officer without a warrant, per HI Rev Stat §803. After arrest, the person is booked at an MPD facility. That means photos, prints, info intake, property log, and a quick medical check. Within 48 hours a decision is made on hold or release. Bail may be set per a schedule, or the person may be let out on own recognizance.

Basic arrest record data includes the full legal name, date of birth, physical description, gender, race, identifying marks, address, photo, prints, arrest date and time, location, arresting agency, officer, reason, and charge info. Records retention under state rules is: felony arrests that led to conviction kept on permanent hold, misdemeanor convictions held at least 10 years, non-conviction arrests kept 5 years at minimum.

Maui Community Correctional Center

The Maui Community Correctional Center, or MCCC, is at 600 Waiale Road, Wailuku, HI 96793. The phone is (808) 243-5858. The facility was built to hold about 301 inmates but often takes in more. The inmate mix covers pre-trial holds, sentenced misdemeanants, felony offenders, and special population inmates such as those with mental health needs or those in protective custody.

Court Records and Maui Booking Reports

The Second Circuit Court serves all of Maui County. The courthouse is Hoapili Hale at 2145 Main Street, Wailuku, HI 96793. The phone is (808) 244-2800. The Second Circuit handles felonies, misdemeanors, and petty misdemeanors for the county. Public terminals at the courthouse let you search basic case data at no fee during regular hours, Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.

Online court data comes through eCourt Kokua. Search by party name, case ID, or citation number. Document downloads cost $3.00 for 1-30 pages, plus 10 cents per added page. A certified copy adds $2.00 per document. A $500 yearly pass gives unlimited single downloads.

The Maui District Court handles early case steps. The initial court appearance usually happens within 48 hours, unless the day falls on a weekend or holiday. At that hearing, charges are read, rights are advised, bail is reviewed, and a public defender may be named if the person qualifies. The next court date is set at that appearance.

Warrants and Maui Booking Reports

You can submit through the online records portal, send a fax to (808) 244-6418, mail a signed request, or walk in at the Wailuku Records Section. Mail or fax asks need a phone number, an email, and a valid photo ID copy. Reply time is within 10 business days.

Required information for a Maui County booking report or warrant ask:

• Full name of the requester

• Report type needed

Criminal history record checks for Maui go through HCJDC's statewide system. A name-based check is $30. A fingerprint-based check is $55 in person or $35 by mail. Maui Police can print fingerprint cards for $25. Mail asks for the name-based type use Form HCJDC-073. Full steps live on the HCJDC record check page.

The law on public records is in HRS Chapter 92F. §92F-11 says most records stay open, while §92F-13 lists the reasons an agency can hold a record back.

Clearing Maui Booking Reports

To remove an old Maui County booking report from the public side, file an expungement request. Under HRS §831-3.2, expungement may be granted for arrests that did not lead to conviction, cases dismissed with prejudice, not-guilty findings, and first-time non-violent offenses after the deferral period.

Sealing is a close cousin of expungement. Sealing holds records back from public view without wiping them out. Both paths are handled through HCJDC, not at the county level. Processing runs about 120 days with no rush option. The fee is $35 for first-time asks, $50 for repeat asks. Only a cashier's check or money order is taken.

See the HCJDC expungements page for Form HCJDC 159(b) and the mail address in Honolulu.

It is served by the Hawaii Department of Health and by the Moloka'i District Court for judicial matters.
