Annual reports due in quarter four (October – December) can now be filed online at https://hbe.ehawaii.gov/annuals and must be filed with BREG by midnight (HST)
December 31, 2020.

Until further notice, due to COVID-19 and for the health and safety of consumers and staff, the DCCA will be providing modified hours of in-person services to the public from 7:45 a.m. to 12 p.m., Monday – Friday, except state holidays.  The public is strongly encouraged to utilize online services as staff continue to process and review filings during normal business hours.

Fees for filing Hawaii annual business reports online are as follows:
LLCs, profit corporations and LLPs: $12.50; Nonprofit Corporations: $2.50; and Partnerships: $5.00. Accepted forms of payment online include credit card, eCheck, or through an eHawaii.gov subscriber account.

Hawaii annual reports can be filed at any time during the quarter in which the annual filing is due. The annual report filing period is related to the business entity’s registration date. The quarters are as follows: First quarter is January – March; Second quarter is April – June; Third quarter is July – September; Fourth quarter is October – December.

Businesses are encouraged to timely file reports to keep the entity in good standing, which may be a prerequisite for qualifying for contracts, loans and other forms of business assistance.
