To register your vehicle, you’ll need the following documents:

Hawaii Boat Registration Forms
A Boat Bill of Sale is necessary for transferring ownership of watercraft in Hawaii.
To register your boat in Hawaii, you need to title it at the Vessel Registration and Titling Office on Oahu, or your local District Office. This applies to all undocumented vessels mainly used in the state.
Once titled, register your boat. The fee depends on its length:
- $25 if under 20 feet
- $40 if 20 feet or longer
Once you’ve registered your vessel, you can legally use it on Hawaii’s public waters.
Hawaii Firearm Bill of Sale
A Firearm Bill of Sale is used in Hawaii for the legal transfer of ownership of a firearm.
It’s a good idea to have the Bill of Sale notarized and signed by both parties. There may be additional requirements depending on the specific firearm and county regulations.
Firearm registration with the county police in Hawaii is mandatory and strictly regulated. ([Haw. Rev. Stat. § 134-3])
You’ll need a firearm permit, which you can get from the police before you acquire the firearm. You must provide proof of firearm training to receive this permit.
You could face legal penalties if you do not register your firearm in the specified timeframe in your county.
