Hawaii LLC Annual Report Guidelines

All Hawaii LLCs conducting business in Hawaii are required to file an Annual Report each year with the Hawaii Business Registration Division.

To maintain compliance and good standing with the State of Hawaii, an LLC must file an Annual Report each year.

You can submit your LLC's Annual Report either by mail or online.

The state prefers online filings, and we recommend them for their speed and convenience.

Hawaii LLC Annual Fee

Hawaii LLCs Annual Reports are $15 per year.

Due Date

The due date for your Annual Report depends on the quarter in which your LLC was approved.

• LLCs approved in (January 1st – March 31st) are due by March 31st each year.
• LLCs approved in (April 1st – June 30th) are due by June 30th each year.
• LLCs approved (July 1st – September 30th) are due by September 30th each year.
• LLCs approved in (October 1st – December 31st) are due by December 31st each year.

To find out when your LLC was approved, search for your LLC name on the Business Entity and Documents page and look for the “Registration Date.”

If you have trouble locating your approval date, you can call the State of Hawaii at 808-586-2727 for help. They are available from 7:45 am to 4:30 pm.

How early can you file an LLC Annual Report?

You can begin filing your Annual Report at the start of your LLC's approval quarter.

Penalty

Hawaii typically charges a $10 late fee for the first year your Annual Report is overdue and $20 if it’s two years late, even though the maximum fee allowed is $100. Keep in mind that these fees could change in the future.

If the Annual Report remains unfiled after two years, the state may take action to administratively dissolve your Hawaii LLC.
