They can request an actual marriage registry certificate with date of the ceremony, minister's name that officiated, couples names and location/date of where it was performed. They are also give a registry number the will tie them to our permanent record... The community service nature of the Hawaii Gay Marriage Bureau is to keep couples (married or not) informed of the legal marriage lawsuit, that our parent organization, the GLEA Foundation, initiated. The informational service will let all registered couples know as soon as possible after legal marriage licenses will be issued in Hawaii, so they can come here and get LEGALLY married... The registry also registers licensed ministers and marriage officiants so that registering couples can get connected should they want to have an official marriage service performed now or in the future"
