File Your Hawaii Annual Report Online

Hawaii's Annual Report is filed online with the Hawaii DCCA, Business Registration Division at hbe.dcca.hawaii.gov. It is due the last day of the calendar quarter that holds your anniversary month each year, and the state adds a $10 for each delinquent year penalty when it is late. We prepare it from your company's details and submit it to the state for you, so it is done before the deadline and off your list.

Hawaii Annual Report at a Glance

Filing: Annual Report
Filed with: Hawaii DCCA, Business Registration Division
Where online: hbe.dcca.hawaii.gov
State fee (LLC): $15
Due: The last day of the calendar quarter that holds your anniversary month each year
Filing window: The last day of your anniversary quarter; the window opens two months before the anniversary month
Frequency: Every year
State late penalty: $10 for each delinquent year, added by the state after the due date
If you miss it: Hawaii keeps taking the late report, with the $10 penalty, through December 31 of the report year. Hawaii administratively dissolves or revokes an LLC that is two reports behind, and the company then has to be reinstated.

Updated November 1, 2026. The fee, the deadline and the penalty above are Hawaii's own, from the state's published schedule and statute, and the penalty is paid to the state, not to us. Every state's report is listed on the annual report directory.

What the Hawaii Form Asks

Hawaii takes the Annual Report online at hbe.dcca.hawaii.gov. It is run by the Hawaii DCCA, Business Registration Division, the office that keeps the company's record.

The Annual Report confirms what the state has on file for the LLC: the principal office and mailing address, the registered agent and registered office, and the managers or members (some states' screens say governors, officials or principals). Anything that changed since the last filing is updated on it, and an authorized person signs it electronically before the state fee is paid.

Formed this year?

An LLC formed on March 15, 2026 owes nothing for 2026; its first Annual Report is due March 31, 2027, the last day of the calendar quarter that holds its anniversary month. After that it files by the same date every year.

Have ready before you start

The company's exact legal name as Hawaii registered it
Its Hawaii file or entity number, from the state's record or the formation approval
The principal office street address and the mailing address, if different
The registered agent's name and Hawaii street address
The names and addresses of the managers or members on record
The name and title of the person signing, and a card for the state fee

Our order form asks for the same items, in the same order the Hawaii screens do.

Hawaii Annual Report Dates

First Annual Report for a Hawaii LLC formed on the 15th of each month in 2026. Hawaii sets the date from your own formation date, so your month is the row that matters, and the report then repeats every year.

How to File It Yourself

1. Open the Hawaii filing site
The Annual Report is filed with the Hawaii DCCA, Business Registration Division at hbe.dcca.hawaii.gov. Hawaii takes it the last day of your anniversary quarter; the window opens two months before the anniversary month.
2. Find your company
Look it up by its Hawaii file or entity number, the number on the company's Hawaii record, not by name alone. Two companies can have near-identical names, and a report filed under the wrong number files the wrong company's report.
3. Confirm or update the details
The principal office and mailing address, the registered agent and registered office, and the managers or members on record. Anything that changed since the last filing goes in now; a new registered agent is a separate change filing in Hawaii.
4. Sign and pay the state
Sign as an authorized person and pay Hawaii's fee ($15 for an LLC). Save the confirmation; it is your proof of filing until the state's record shows the report.

Rather skip the state's site? We file it for you, and the state's confirmation comes to your inbox. To file it yourself, start at the Hawaii filing site.

Yourself or filed for you: the same Hawaii filing, step for step
	File it yourself	Have it filed
Account	Whatever hbe.dcca.hawaii.gov asks for	None needed
Finding the company	You enter the Hawaii file or entity number	We look up the record and match it to your order
The details	You retype the addresses, the agent and the managers or members on the state's screens	You confirm them once on our form; we check them against the Hawaii record before filing
Signing	An authorized person signs electronically	You authorize the filing at checkout and name the signer; the state's signature line is completed the way the state allows
State fee	Paid to the state by card at the end	Paid to the state on your behalf and itemized on the order review step
Timing	Any time the window is open (the last day of your anniversary quarter; the window opens two months before the anniversary month)	Order any time; a report the state is not taking yet is held and filed the day the window opens
Confirmation	Shown on screen; save it yourself	The state's confirmation is emailed to you and kept on your order page
Registered agent change	A separate change filing with the Hawaii DCCA	Chosen on the order form; we file the change with the report order

Registered agent and registered office: The person or company at a Hawaii street address that receives lawsuits and state notices for the LLC; a post office box does not qualify, and the agent's address is public.
Principal office and mailing address: Where the business is run, and the address the state should write to if that differs; both appear on the public record.
Managers or members: Who runs the LLC. The Annual Report lists them, usually with a business address for each, and some state screens call them governors, officials or principals.
Hawaii file or entity number: The number Hawaii gave the company when it was formed. It is on the approved formation document and on the state's business search, and it is how the filing finds the right record.
Good standing, dissolution and reinstatement: Good standing is the status a company keeps by filing on time. Administrative dissolution (some states say revocation or forfeiture) is what the state does to one that stops filing, and reinstatement is the filing that brings it back, with the missed reports and fees.

What Goes Wrong on the Hawaii Annual Report

Filing an Annual Report for the year the LLC was formed: a company formed in 2026 owes its first in 2027, and the state is not waiting for one before that.
Filing outside the window: the Annual Report is due the last day of your anniversary quarter, and the window opens two months before the anniversary month; the state's system does not take it earlier.
Looking the company up by name instead of its Hawaii file or entity number: two companies can carry near-identical names, and the report then updates the wrong record.
Trying to change the registered agent on the Annual Report: Hawaii takes the agent change as its own filing, before or after the report.
Waiting too long: Hawaii keeps taking the late report, with the $10 penalty, through December 31 of the report year. Hawaii administratively dissolves or revokes an LLC that is two reports behind, and the company then has to be reinstated.

After you file

hbe.dcca.hawaii.gov shows a confirmation and sends a receipt to the filer's email; keep it with the company's records, because it is the proof of filing until the Hawaii DCCA posts the Annual Report to the public record. Once posted, the company's status on the Hawaii business search stays active, which is what a bank, a lender, a landlord or a licensing board checks before it opens an account, extends credit or renews a license. A certificate of status or good standing, where one of them asks for paper proof, is a separate document the state issues on request. The next thing the Hawaii business registry expects is the next Annual Report, a year later; taxes and licenses run on their own calendars with other agencies.

Changing Your Registered Agent

Hawaii's Annual Report confirms the registered agent on record but does not replace it. A new agent is its own change-of-agent filing with the Hawaii DCCA, filed before or after the report.

Registered agent service through America LLC Filing

Our registered agent partner's Hawaii address goes on the public record instead of yours, and legal and state mail is scanned and forwarded the same business day. We file Hawaii's change-of-agent form for you with the report order. Choose it on the order form.

Hawaii Annual Report: Questions

Can I file the Hawaii Annual Report online?+

Yes. Hawaii takes it online through the Hawaii DCCA, Business Registration Division (hbe.dcca.hawaii.gov). If you would rather not, we file it for you: one short form with your company's details, and we submit it to the state.

When is the Hawaii Annual Report due?+

The last day of the calendar quarter that holds your anniversary month each year. The window opens two months before the anniversary month. Order any time: if Hawaii is not accepting the report yet, we hold it and file it the day the state opens.

What if I missed the Hawaii deadline?+

The state's late penalty is $10 for each delinquent year, added by the state after the due date. Hawaii keeps taking the late report, with the $10 penalty, through December 31 of the report year. Hawaii administratively dissolves or revokes an LLC that is two reports behind, and the company then has to be reinstated. We file late reports while the state still takes them; the state's penalty, where there is one, is paid to the state with its fee.

Is the Hawaii Annual Report every year?+

Every year. The deadline is the last day of the calendar quarter that holds your anniversary month, and it does not move with the calendar: a weekend or holiday deadline is still the deadline unless Hawaii says otherwise, so file ahead of it.

My LLC was formed this year. Do I file an Annual Report?+

Not this year. An LLC formed on March 15, 2026 owes nothing for 2026; its first Annual Report is due March 31, 2027, the last day of the calendar quarter that holds its anniversary month. After that it files by the same date every year. A report filed for the formation year is not required, and the state's system will either refuse it or treat it as next year's.

What do I need to file it?+

The company's exact legal name and its Hawaii file or entity number, the principal and mailing address, the registered agent on record, and the managers or members. We ask for the same on our order form, so nothing is missing when we file.

Can I change my Hawaii registered agent at the same time?+

Yes. Hawaii takes the agent change as its own filing, separate from the Annual Report; choose our registered agent service on our order form and we file that change for you with the report order, so our partner's Hawaii address replaces yours on the record.

Is America LLC Filing the Hawaii state office?+

No. America LLC Filing is a private filing service, not a government agency and not a law firm, and it is not affiliated with Hawaii. The state's fee is the same whether you file at hbe.dcca.hawaii.gov yourself or we file for you.
