Print Legal Hawaii Register Foreign Corporation Forms For Free

Hawaii doesn't have a general business license at the state level, so there are no fees there. But your required Hawaii Tax ID Number registration with the Department of Taxation has a $20 filing fee.

Copies and certified copies of documents filed with the Department can be purchased online through Hawaii Business Express. To do this, search under business name, open the selected record, and go to the last tab titled, ?Buy Available Docs.? Requests can also be made by phone, email, fax, mail, or in person.

Owners of all forms of business, except sole proprietorships, unincorporated associations (nonprofit organizations) and foreign insurance companies, must register with the DCCA, BREG. Foreign insurance companies must register with DCCA, Insurance Division.

To register a Foreign Limited Liability Company in Hawaii, you must file an Application for Certificate of Authority for Foreign Limited Liability Company (Form FLLC-1), along with the appropriate filing fee(s) with the Department of Commerce and Consumer Affairs (DCCA), Business Registration Division.

Hawaii's state statutes don't really pin down what the state defines as doing business. However, if your LLC plans to own or lease property in Hawaii, hire local employees, bid on contracts there, or offer professional and retail services to people in Hawaii, you'll need to register your LLC as a Hawaii foreign LLC.

Hawaii's filing and review process matches up well with any of the leading business registration states like Delaware and Florida. Normal filings can be accomplished in only 3 to 5 working days. Expedited filings can be done in just 1 day.
