My ticket I pulled was #3 they were on #2 I was waiting at least 10mins before they called my number . No other customers waiting as you can see in my video . Service very slow and the old saying goes typical State workers lol. Finally got to a window and the clerk moved also slow by inputting my information then printing it out on the printer . Hopefully I don't have to return to this place again .

Jury Duty I was…read moresummoned for jury duty and scheduled to check in 8:30 am. Arrived at 7:45 and parked at the South St jury parking garage on the cornet of South St and Pohukaina Stt. Take your ticket and the check in person will validate. Entering the building, you will go through security similar to the airport where you put your belongings in a basket for scanning and walk through a metal detector. Once inside look for the desk where they will ask you for the letter that summoned you for jury duty. There you can also get your parking ticket validated. If you get lost, there are people there to guide you to the correct place. Once checked in, you will be directed to go to your assigned courtroom. Inside the courtroom, the presiding judge's law clerk will take a roll call then it's all following directions after that. They do give you an hour break for lunch. Pro tip: eat, drink, use the bathroom beforehand. You cannot take any food inside the courtroom. Drinks are allowed if in a flask.

Yep. We received the Jury Duty Summon letter, this time it was for the other half, we were worried…read moreas we will be traveling during time of Jury Duty. Reading the important info., on the summons, the hubby wrote his written statement with all the important details included, attached our trip itinerary and then I made a stop at circuit court to drop it off, since it had to be within 2 weeks and it was pretty close. It's been years since I last had Jury Duty, made me forget. I actually drove to the wrong court on Alakea. I had a hard time finding parking, circled around a few times, finally parked, went through security check like TSA, dropped forms off at room 1060. That was quick, the hubby got a response via email within 2 business days and shared the great news with me. Now the hubby asked, what if we are on a trip again ?! The next time he receives the Jury Duty Summons, will cross our fingers that the next date will not coincide with our travels. Yep. If you receive that letter, have no fear, don't worry too much, just follow the instructions and everything will be alright!

I happened upon the Supreme Court building after seeing the amazing statue of King Kamehameha V in…read morefront. The historic Supreme Court building has a long history. The structure was intended to be a palace for Kamehameha V, but converted during construction to a needed government building for the Republic of Hawaii, known as Ali'iolani Hale. The Italian Renaissance Revival building was designed by Thomas Rowe, a British architect and dedicated in 1884. Today, the building houses the King Kamehameha V Judiciary Center and the Hawaii Supreme Court. The building is free and open to explore, but you have to go through security. The interior has a lovely marble atrium with dual winding staircase in a center atrium. There is a small dome at the top of the atrium. Original woodwork exists throughout the building. In the History Center is a small movie theater, that offers several interesting films about Hawaiian government and history. A small museum houses early Hawaiian legal artifacts. An original Victorian era courtroom is available to explore. Upstairs is a modern courtroom that serves as the Hawaii Supreme Court, which was not in session during my visit. Plan an hour visit (or less if you skip the films). I did not see nearby parking, I took the bus as part of my visit to Iolani Palace, which is across the street. They are open 8:00 am - 4 pm.

300 Ala Moana Blvd is where the US Federal Building named Prince Jonah Kuhio Kalaniana'ole Building…read moresits. In and at this building sits all, and I mean ALL the federal departments. US Federal District Court, IRS, SSA, VA, TSA to name a few are homed here. Here are a few things you need to know 1- no Building or Facility parking! zip! zero! nada!. There are 2 municipal parking lots on the east side of Punchbowl Street. $2.00 per hour. There are street metered parking spaces so you need to bring your change; $.25 will do it @ $2.00 per hour. These parking meters are old. It does not accept credit cards. 2- Secured entrance to building now only on the south side of the building. (reduced from 3 entrances pre Pandemic) Best you have an appointment for the department you are visiting or you may have to wait outside until the crowd control says you can enter. Picture identification is required 3- Sundry Store on the ground floor is in sad shape and condition. Their A/C is out. Their coffee maker is broken and their refrigeration system is running warm.... 5- Cafeteria on the 5th floor has lost its luster. I used to love to eat there. The food used to be good and it was priced right. The Cafeteria was designed to service the federal employees, judges, attorneys, plaintiffs and others who have business within the Federal Building. But its not the greatest anymore. Menu has shrunk, coffee from Starbucks, no table service. You wait in the line like a cafeteria and you bus you own trays. So the bottom line is unless you have specific and definite business in the Federal Building, don't go there or go prepared.

The building was well maintained, very clean and a lot of hustle and was bustle going on. I had some notary business to take care of which is what brought me to this building. The big boys in the building are are the U.S. District Court, U.S. Coast Guard, SSA, IRS, and Honolulu Passport Agency.

Paying a traffic ticket in person…read more.. efficient, less painful, and fun! Hard to believe? Read on... Receiving a traffic ticket is quite traumatic. I didn't know that I was commiting a violation, but everyone around me found out when the loud speaker from the Police vehicle made an announcement! Uhg! The blue lights flashed, the siren blared, and the Officer said, "You are being pulled over." Waaahhh! Ok... I will take responsibility for my actions (because I preach this to my patients) and pay the fine. It's how much??? $297 included Driver Education Fee and two different Administrative fees for "Mobile Electronic Device". Ack! Oh, well... Just power through and get it done. I tried online payment, but I was too early. My ticket wasn't in the system yet. (I used to work for the Prosecutor's Office, so, I know something about entering the data into the computer.) I called, but I wasn't able to get through. I was going to mail in my Credit Card payment, but I read the fine print about a "transaction fee". Hey, I'm Chinese... (That means I'm thrifty)! That's when I got the brilliant idea to go to my credit union, get cash, and pay in person. I pass by Kaneohe District Court (KDC) every time I go to work and go home. KDC is located on the corner of Po'okela Street and Kea'ahala Road ...between Kaneohe District Park and Windward Community College. It's an impressive and relatively new building, surrounded by tropical flowers/shrubs and the beautiful backdrop of the Koolau Mountain Range. Breath taking! Parking is free on the street and in the adjacent parking lot. Disabled parking spaces and an elevator make entry into the building more convenient. Once inside, there are signs and a helpful Security Guard who give directions for temperature screening and how to place property on the conveyor belt as people and items pass through a metal detector. I followed arrows that pointed to the Cashiers. There was a row of windows and the two guys in front of me went to the open slots. We were instructed to take a number and a seat, but the clerks were efficient enough to process us right away. I wish that I got the name of the gal at Window #4. She answered all of my questions such as, "Is there a cash discount?" and she laughed at my attempts at making jokes. I told her that I'll give her a Five-star Yelp Review because she was so friendly and she made the payment process less painful! She added that I could pay by credit card and get Hawaiian Airlines Miles because the "transaction fee" applies to those who have outstanding accounts (in collections)! What a bonus! Hahaha! Even though this was a lesson learned, it was made "pleasant" with a nice environment, efficient process, and cordial staff! It makes me proud to be a US Citizen in the State of Hawaii!

This place seriously needs some cleaning. Walking up to the entrance and even after entering…read morethrough the metal detectors it smelt like pee and homeless. After 3 hours of sitting in the court room, it cost me $122 for a ticket that I could have paid online for $75 but for some reason I had to come to court for it which charged me $47 in additional fees. When I got home my clothes even smelt gross. Parking is very sparse so you need to come early to get a stall. With all the additional fees that every person that was there had to pay, they need ti do something about this establishment. Only reason why there are 2 stars id because the cashiers were very nice and friendly.

The local folks know exactly what can be done (their services have been scaled back because of budget cuts), and if you need an appointment or a walk in is okay. If an appointment, might be ~6 weeks out because of backlog, be prepared. 2. 4 separate people will ask you why you're visiting, be super clear in what you need + if you have an appointment or were told you didn't have to make one. 3. Listen carefully for the numbers being called. Their PA system is super mid, and depending on who is calling the number from what window, it might not be clear. Lol everyone in the waiting room banded together to try discern what's being said. "You got that ticket number?" "Think it was this, who caught the window number?" 4. The employees are short staffed, but very empathetic + helpful. You just have to work together with them, have your id + documents ready for when it's your turn and they ask for stuff.
