Hawaii Registered Agent

Hawaii registered agents are required when registering to do business in Hawaii.

What is a Hawaii Registered Agent?

A Hawaii registered agent is a business that is listed on your corporate paperwork with the state as responsible for accepting legal notices on your behalf. Hawaii resident agents must have a real physical location in Hawaii and be present at that address during normal business hours. Although most of the time a sheriff or process server will be delivering the notice to the Hawaii registered agents address, mailing a letter to the person or business listed as the Hawaii resident agent at the Hawaii registered office address is legal proof that you have been notified, regardless of whether or not you received the notice.

The Hawaii registered agents duty is to be available at the business address listed as the HI registered office address during normal business hours. Any mail from the state that has been returned to them will be sent to the Hawaii resident agents address.

What types of businesses are required to have Hawaii Registered Agents?

A Hawaii LLC, out of state LLC, a Hawaii corporation, an out of state corporation, a non-profit corporation or organization, limited partnership, limited liability partnership, or any other Hawaii business entity is required to have a Hawaii registered agent and Hawaii registered office.
