Yes. The Hawaii Revised Statutes Division 2 Business 414-61 requires that a business entity continuously maintain a Hawaii registered agent. You cannot form or register a business in the state without one.
Hawaii Revised Statutes allow the following to act as a Hawaii registered agent:
- An individual residing in the state
- A domestic entity authorized to transact business in the state
- A foreign entity authorized to transact business in the state
Every Hawaii registered agent is required by law to fulfill the following duties:
- Maintain a registered office in the state with a physical address
- Keep regular business hours
- Accept service of process and legal correspondence on behalf of clients
- Contact clients when documents are accepted at the registered office
- Forward documents to clients in a timely manner
Hawaii makes a distinction between commercial and non-commercial registered agents. Both types of agents provide the same duties. However, a commercial registered agent is a professional business that provides registered agent service to a wide range of clients and has registered with the Department of Commerce and Consumer Affairs to do so.
A non-commercial registered agent generally provides service for only a single or few businesses and does not offer this service as a main component of its business.
CFS is a commercial registered agent in Hawaii.
If your Hawaii registered agent resigns, you have 31 days in which to designate a new registered agent. After a period of 31 days, your company will be in violation of state law and can be administratively dissolved by the DCCA.
You can change your Hawaii registered agent at any time by filing a Statement of Change with the Department of Commerce and Consumer Affairs. There is a $25 filing fee to submit and process this document.
