Schofield Barracks Residents Directory

The Schofield Barracks Residents Directory is a mix of federal Army records and Honolulu County public files. Use this page to find the right office for a search tied to this Central Oahu installation. Schofield sits next to Wahiawa on the Leilehua Plain. Base files run through the U.S. Army. Off-post records go through state and county offices. This guide lays out both tracks clearly.

Schofield Barracks Residents Directory Basics

Schofield Barracks is a U.S. Army installation in Central Oahu. It is federal land. The post covers more than 17,000 acres and is home to the 25th Infantry Division. Wahiawa sits just to the east. The City and County of Honolulu provides some municipal services around the installation, but on-post records are federal.

That split is key for any Schofield search. Personnel files, base housing records, and military police reports sit with the Army. Civilian court cases, off-post property, and state-issued licenses still run through Honolulu County and the State of Hawaii. The Residents Directory for Schofield pulls from both tracks.

Note: U.S. Army Garrison Hawaii is the main point of contact for any on-post record request. Most files must be pulled through federal channels.

Veterans and their families often need a mix of federal and state records. A birth on post in the base hospital is still filed with the Hawaii State Department of Health. A marriage on post follows state rules for the license. A divorce goes through the Hawaii State Judiciary.

Note: FOIA and UIPA differ. FOIA is federal law. UIPA is Hawaii state law. Know which one to use for each request.
