Maui County Jail Mugshots
The core Maui County finding is narrow and important: an official Maui online jail roster was not located, and no official Maui booking-photo roster, recent-booking gallery, or mugshot gallery was found in the official sources reviewed. Maui Community Correctional Center is operated by the Hawaii Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation, not by a county sheriff running a county roster site. The Maui Police Department Receiving Desk and Wailuku Police Station handle temporary police processing, but no public receiving-desk mugshot gallery was located either.
That does not mean every booking photo is always closed. It means Maui County jail mugshots are not published through an official online gallery in the research. A person who needs custody status should use Hawaii SAVIN/VINELink and MCCC contact channels. A person who needs a police report or booking-adjacent arrest record should use MPD's public-records process. A person who needs filed charges should use Maui County court records after a jail arrest, because eCourt Kokua is a case-record system, not a mugshot source.
Public and not public: No official Maui mugshot gallery was located. Some police mugshots may be public under UIPA and OIP opinions, but expunged arrests, juvenile records, sealed material, and valid law-enforcement exceptions can block release.
Maui County Roster Photo Inventory
Because no official public MCCC roster profile was located, the public field inventory must be stated as missing rather than guessed. Do not assume a Maui County roster profile shows name, booking number, booking date, mugshot, charges, bond, housing, arresting agency, or court date. Those facts may exist in internal police or jail systems, in MPD report files, in Hawaii SAVIN/VINELink custody status, or in eCourt Kokua after filing, but the research did not locate them in an official public Maui jail roster.
| Field | Maui Public Roster Finding |
|---|---|
| Booking photo or mugshot | Not located in an official public MCCC roster. |
| Name | Not located in an official public MCCC roster profile. |
| Booking number | Not located in an official public MCCC roster profile. |
| Booking date or time | Not located in an official public MCCC roster profile. |
| Charges | Use eCourt Kokua after charges are filed, not a Maui mugshot roster. |
| Bond or bail | eCourt case Summary may include Bail/Bond Information after filing. |
| Release or custody status | Use Hawaii SAVIN/VINELink for DCR custody or parole status. |
| Redactions | MPD reports may be redacted for third parties; eCourt excludes confidential or sealed records. |
For custody and booking status rather than photos, use Maui County jail inmate records and the DCR/VINELink access chain.
Request Maui County Booking Photos
A Maui County booking photo request should follow the records channel that owns the record. If the image relates to an MPD arrest report, MPD's police-report and records process is the better route than MCCC's custody-status channels. MPD says qualified requesters may receive preliminary or complete reports depending on case severity and prosecution status, while uninvolved third parties may receive redacted reports. The request process can run through Maui County GovQA or through fax and mail with contact information and a legible photo ID.
- Check custody through Hawaii SAVIN/VINELink if the first question is whether the person is in DCR custody. Treat it as a custody and notification tool, not a mugshot gallery.
- Identify whether the booking photo is tied to an MPD arrest report, a DCR jail record, a court filing, or a federal matter.
- For MPD records, submit through Maui County GovQA or use the MPD report request instructions with email, phone number, and legible photo ID.
- Describe the record sought as a booking photo or police mugshot connected to the arrest, and include known report number, date, name, and agency details when available.
- Cite Hawaii UIPA and the OIP mugshot opinions if asking for the image as a public record, while recognizing redactions and exemptions may apply.
- Use eCourt Kokua only for the court case. It may show offenses, dockets, bail, and hearings, but it is not a Maui County mugshot gallery.
The Maui Police Department police-report request page explains the local request path, ID rules, report-copy fees, and mailing or fax options.
Use that channel for police-report access, while treating DCR and VINELink as custody-status sources.
Maui County Mugshot Request Channels
The MPD Records Section is the local police-records office identified in the research. It processes police reports and legal documents for arrests and civil process services, warrants, TROs, protective orders, summonses, subpoenas, and active NCIC documentation. Its public-facing records role is separate from eCourt Kokua and separate from MCCC custody status. MPD's request details also matter because qualified requesters and uninvolved third parties may receive different levels of access.
| Channel | Use It For | Mugshot Limit |
|---|---|---|
| Maui County GovQA | Submitting public-records requests, including police records request categories. | Not a photo gallery; the agency reviews and responds. |
| MPD Records Section | Police reports and arrest-related records. | Reports may be redacted, and requester status matters. |
| Hawaii SAVIN/VINELink | DCR custody and parole status notifications. | Not documented as a mugshot source. |
| eCourt Kokua | Filed charges, dockets, hearings, bail/bond, and dispositions. | Not a booking-photo source. |
| BOP or federal records | Federal custody or federal court matters. | Do not expect a public federal mugshot gallery. |
The Maui Police Department Records Section page shows the office's police-record responsibilities and station contact details.
That page supports routing booking-photo and police-report requests through MPD rather than searching for a nonexistent Maui mugshot roster.
Hawaii Mugshot Public Records
Hawaii's public-records law is the Uniform Information Practices Act, or UIPA. HRS 92F-11 says government records are open to public inspection unless access is restricted or closed by law. HRS 92F-13 lists exceptions, including privacy, confidential records, records whose disclosure would frustrate a legitimate government function, and records protected by law or court order. Those exceptions matter for active cases, sealed records, juveniles, and expunged arrests.
UIPA and OIP mugshot law: Hawaii OIP Opinion Letter 03-09 says OIP had previously opined that a Hawaii Police Department mug shot must be made available for public inspection and copying under UIPA. It also states that Chapter 846 does not restrict disclosure when the arrest is less than one year old, prosecution remains active, or a conviction results, but expunged arrest mugshots are protected from public inspection under HRS 92F-13(4).
The Hawaii OIP mugshots opinion summary is the manifest source for the public-record analysis.
Use the OIP opinion as legal support for a public-record request, not as proof that Maui publishes booking photos online.
Maui County Mugshot Availability
No official Maui roster retention period for booking photos was located because no official public Maui booking-photo roster was located. That means there was no sourced local rule showing that a mugshot stays online only while a person is in custody, drops after release, or remains in a searchable archive. Avoid any claim that Maui County has a recent-booking gallery, daily booking report with photos, or historical mugshot archive unless an official source later publishes one.
When a mugshot is obtained through a public-record request, the release decision depends on UIPA, OIP guidance, the status of the arrest, requester status, and any exception or court order that applies. MPD report requests may be redacted for uninvolved third parties. eCourt excludes sealed or confidential material. DCR custody status can show that a person is in custody or under parole status, but the research does not document it as a booking-photo display.
Maui County GovQA Requests
Maui County GovQA is the online public-records portal located in the research. The portal includes request categories such as Police Records Request and Prosecuting Attorney Records Request, along with a public archive search. GovQA is useful when the requested record is not already posted online. It is not a roster, and it is not a mugshot gallery. A clear request should name the agency, the record type, the person's name, the date of arrest or report number if known, and the specific photo or report being requested.
The Maui County GovQA public-records request portal is included in the manifest for records routing.
Use GovQA for a records request when the photo is not available through any official posted source.
Maui County Mugshot Removal
Removal is a records-clearing issue, not a paid advertising issue. HRS 831-3.2 includes photographs and photographic or fingerprint cards in arrest-record handling. After an expungement order, eligible arrest records in state or county law-enforcement custody that can be forwarded without affecting non-arrest records go into confidential handling. OIP Opinion Letter 03-09 also says expunged arrest mugshots are protected from public inspection under HRS 92F-13(4).
The Hawaii Judiciary research notes that as of July 1, 2025, requests to expunge nonconviction arrest records and remove related court records are handled through a streamlined one-step process by the Department of the Attorney General through HCJDC. The HCJDC expungement contact listed in the research is (808) 587-3348. No Maui-specific commercial mugshot removal rule was located, and commercial pay-to-remove sites should not be treated as official remedies.
State and Federal Mugshots
State, county, and federal custody systems should not be mixed. Maui Community Correctional Center is a DCR facility serving local jail custody and other DCR-related populations. Hawaii SAVIN/VINELink covers DCR custody and parole status, but the research does not document it as a photo gallery. Court records after filing are searched through eCourt Kokua. Federal detainees or defendants may involve BOP, ICE, USMS, or federal court records, and those systems generally do not publish booking mugshots in the same way some county roster sites do.
For Maui County jail mugshots, the safest official phrasing is direct: no official Maui online jail roster, booking-photo roster, recent-booking gallery, or mugshot gallery was located. Use custody tools for custody, court tools for charges, and public-record requests for police photos where the law allows release.
