Hawaii Release and Authorization is a type of legal document that is used by employers in Hawaii to obtain permission from their employees to conduct a background investigation. This document grants employers the authority to access and obtain information about the employee's financial and criminal history, and verify the accuracy of information that has been provided by the employee. There are two main types of Hawaii Release and Authorization, including the Standard Release and Authorization and the Advanced Release and Authorization. The Standard Release and Authorization allows employers to access basic information, such as the employee's Social Security Number, criminal records, credit reports, and driving records. The Advanced Release and Authorization grants employers the authority to access more detailed information, such as educational transcripts, military service records, and professional licenses.
