Key resources for filing and maintaining your business registration
Overview
In Hawaii, all business registrations are filed with the State of Hawaii Department of Commerce and Consumer Affairs, Business Registration Division. Our business registration forms are simple to fill out and only require enough information to fulfill Hawaii’s statutory filing requirements. Many of our registration forms are available for filing online. Filing online can result in quicker review times and allows filers to check the status of their filings, view filing deadlines, purchase documents, and more.
