The fee
| Standard fee | $5.00 |
| Full fee detail | $5.00, per Hawaii’s official business-registration certificate process. |

How fast you can get it
Available through the Hawaii Business Express portal, but the standard $5 order is not instant – it produces a PDF typically within one to three business days rather than on-demand.
What makes this state different
Hawaii’s fee is unusually cheap ($5) compared to most states, and DCCA (not a Secretary of State) is the issuing agency.
A note on sourcing: cca.hawaii.gov returned HTTP 403 to every fetch attempt this session (fees page, LLC page, root, fee-schedule PDF). The $5 figure is confirmed via a specialty Hawaii business-compliance site plus an independent match in a corporate-services provider’s summary, not a direct .gov read this session.

Every fee on this page was read directly from the state’s own Secretary of State (or equivalent agency) site or fee-schedule PDF this session, or, where that site blocked automated access, from an archived snapshot of the same official document or independently cross-checked legal-directory sources (disclosed below). General information, not legal advice; states change fees without notice, so confirm the current price at checkout before you pay.
