Given an uncountable cardinal κ with and regular, we show that there is a forcing that preserves cofinalities less than or equal to and forces the existence of a well-order of H(κ⁺) that is definable over ⟨H(κ⁺),∈⟩ by a Σ₁-formula with parameters. This shows that, in contrast to the case "κ = ω", the existence of a locally definable well-order of H(κ⁺) of low complexity is consistent with failures of the GCH at κ. We also show that the forcing mentioned above introduces a Bernstein subset of that is definable over ⟨H(κ⁺),∈⟩ by a Δ₁-formula with parameters.
