Hawaii annual report: the cheapest deadline, by the quarter.

Hawaii files its companies at the Business Registration Division of DCCA, the Department of Commerce and Consumer Affairs, and schedules like nowhere else: your annual report is due by the end of the calendar quarter that holds your registration anniversary, March, June, September, or December 31, at twelve dollars and fifty cents online, the cheapest report in the country. Cheap and quarterly sounds easy, and it is, right up until nobody in the company can say which quarter is theirs.

ACCURACY VERIFIED

This year's report, prepared and filed with the Secretary of State, with your standing verified after it posts.

The report, decoded

Four facts cover the whole system

1 · What it actually is

A once-a-year confirmation filed with the Business Registration Division at DCCA, Hawaii’s registry, since the state has no Secretary of State: addresses, registered agent, and officials refreshed on the record. What we file for you →

2 · When it is due

By the last day of the calendar quarter containing your registration anniversary: March 31, June 30, September 30, or December 31. Four possible deadlines statewide, exactly one of them yours. Put your quarter on a watched calendar →

3 · What it costs

$12.50 filed online, $15 on paper, the smallest report fee in America, with lateness metered at $10 per delinquent year. When we file it for you, the total is the state fee plus a transaction fee plus our service fee, as a one-time filing or on the automated annual plan, itemized on the pricing page before you pay, so nothing quoted here can go stale.

4 · What happens if you miss it

The $10-per-year meter first, quiet and cumulative, and prolonged silence, around two missed years, ends in involuntary dissolution. Reinstatement with the missed reports and fees settled restores the record.

ACTIVECurrent on the quarterly-scheduled report at $12.50, the cheapest good standing in the country.
DUE · YOUR QUARTERThe quarter-end holding your anniversary. Partners reliably each assume the other one knows which quarter that is.
DELINQUENT + $10/YRThe quarter closed unfiled and the gentlest meter in compliance started: ten dollars per delinquent year, stacking quietly.
INVOL. DISSOLVEDAround two missed years and the state acts. The smallest fees in the country end in the same dissolution as the largest. Reinstatement restores it.
TRADE NAMEHawaii trade names register with the same division, so one company is often one entity plus several names, all on one record.

The Hawaii annual report is due by the last day of the calendar quarter containing your registration anniversary, $12.50 online, with lateness metered at $10 per delinquent year and involuntary dissolution behind roughly two missed years. The smallest numbers in American compliance, attached to a real ending, on a schedule nobody memorizes.

The deadline is step one

Where you stand decides what you do next

Your quarter is open, or just closed

Open: file now, $12.50, done. Closed: the meter is only $10 a year, but the record shows the slip, and two silent years end in dissolution regardless of how small the bill stayed.

Nobody owns the quarter

The classic Hawaii failure: two partners, two islands, each sure the other filed. Our watched calendar gives the quarter exactly one owner that never forgets.

Your company was dissolved

Reinstatement with the missed reports and the modest fees settled restores the record. We file it as one package and confirm the flip.

My partner runs the Maui side, I run Kona, and each of us was certain the other filed the September report. Two delinquent years built up at ten dollars each, invisible on any budget, until a supplier’s credit check surfaced the record. We filed both years for less than lunch costs here. The fine was tiny. The look on the supplier’s face was not.

When is my Hawaii annual report due?

By the end of the calendar quarter that contains your registration anniversary: registered May 5, your deadline is June 30 every year, $12.50 online at DCCA, the cheapest report in the country. The price makes it forgettable, which is why it sits on my calendar and not in anyone’s memory.

Why is my company at DCCA and not a Secretary of State?

Because Hawaii has no Secretary of State: companies live at the Business Registration Division inside the Department of Commerce and Consumer Affairs. Plenty of owners search for an office that does not exist here. Your record is fine, it lives at DCCA, and I read it for you either way.

We are two years behind. What does the fix actually cost?

Almost nothing in fees, which is the strange part: the missed reports at $12.50 each plus $10 per delinquent year. The real cost is the record, because around two silent years Hawaii dissolves involuntarily, and if that has happened, reinstatement is the path. I can check your exact status now and file the whole package today.

Frequently asked

Hawaii Annual Report questions.

What is the Hawaii annual report?

A once-a-year filing with the Business Registration Division at DCCA, Hawaii’s registry, confirming your addresses, registered agent, and officials. Hawaii has no Secretary of State. We prepare and file it on time as part of annual report service.

When is the Hawaii annual report due?

By the last day of the calendar quarter containing your registration anniversary: March 31, June 30, September 30, or December 31. One of four dates is yours, permanently, which is why it belongs on a watched calendar with a single owner.

How much does the Hawaii annual report cost?

$12.50 filed online or $15 on paper, the smallest report fee in the country, with lateness metered at $10 per delinquent year. When we file it for you, the total is the state fee plus a transaction fee plus our service fee, as a one-time filing or on the automated annual plan, itemized on the pricing page before you pay, so nothing quoted here can go stale.

What happens if I miss the Hawaii annual report?

The $10-per-year meter runs quietly, and around two missed years the state involuntarily dissolves the entity, the same ending bigger states charge hundreds to reach. Reinstatement with the missed reports and fees settled restores the record.

Which quarter is mine?

The calendar quarter holding your original registration date: a February registration answers by March 31, an August one by September 30. It never changes, and it is the single fact partners most often each assume the other knows. We read it from the record and own it thereafter.

Do foreign-registered entities file a Hawaii annual report too?

Yes, by the end of their anniversary quarter at the foreign-entity rate, with the same meter and dissolution behind silence, on top of home-state filings. Our multi-entity dashboard tracks every state and every quarter.

Can File.Business file my Hawaii annual report?

Yes. We identify your quarter, file mid-quarter every year with DCCA, and verify your standing after it posts, with the state fee, transaction fee, and our service fee itemized up front, one-time or on the automated plan.
