A new state law mandates a new one-time fee is required for anyone who registers a firearm.
Effective Jan. 1, all firearms permit applicants will be assessed a $42 one-time fee. That includes prior firearms applicants, out-of-state firearms applicants and law enforcement officers with personal firearms. No fee will be charged for subsequent permits to acquire a firearm, but even those who previously paid a fingerprint fee prior to Jan. 1 will be assessed the $42 fee for the first registration after Jan. 1.
Payment must be made by money order or cashier’s check only, payable to Hawaii Criminal Justice Data Center.
