Fingerprinting Services and Criminal Abstracts

The Hawaiʻi Police Department (HPD) offers fingerprinting services, as well as criminal abstracts, commonly referred to as State of Hawaiʻi background checks. Fingerprinting services are available at all police stations island-wide. Criminal abstracts are only available in Hilo at the Records and Identification Section office or at the Kona Police Station.
