INFORMATION FOR FOREIGN PROFIT CORPORATIONS

Registered Office/Registered Agent Change

Section 415-113 provides that each foreign corporation authorized to transact business in Hawaii shall have and

continuously maintain in this State: (1) a registered office which may, but need not be, the same as its place of

business in this State; and (2) a registered agent, which agent may be either an individual resident of this State

whose business office is identical with the corporation’s registered office or a domestic corporation having a

business office identical with the corporation’s registered office.

A foreign corporation authorized to transact business in this State may change its registered office or registered

agent, or both, upon delivering to the director for filing a statement setting forth the particulars required by

Section 415-114.

Any registered agent in this State appointed by a foreign corporation may resign as the agent for the foreign

corporation upon delivering a written notice of resignation, in duplicate, to the director who shall mail a copy of

the notice to the foreign corporation at its principal office. The appointment of the registered agent shall

terminate upon the expiration of thirty days after receipt of the notice by the director.

Additional Requirements for Name Changes and Mergers

Section 415-116 provides that whenever the name of a foreign corporation authorized to transact business in this

State is changed by the amendment of its articles of incorporation, the foreign corporation shall, within thirty days

after the amendment becomes effective, deliver to the director a certificate evidencing the name change duly

authenticated by the proper officer of the state or country under the laws of which it is incorporated. A fee of

$50.00 shall accompany the filing of the certificate.

Section 415-117 provides that whenever a foreign corporation authorized to transact business in this State shall

be a party to a statutory merger, it shall, within thirty days after the merger becomes effective, deliver to the

director, a certificate evidencing the merger duly authenticated by the proper officer of the state or country under

the laws of which the statutory merger was effectuated. The certificate evidencing the merger shall be evidence

of a change of name if the name of the surviving corporation has been changed thereby. A fee of $50.00 shall

accompany the filing of the certificate.

Whenever a foreign corporation authorized to transact business in this State shall be a party to a statutory

merger and it is NOT the surviving corporation, the surviving corporation shall, within thirty days after the merger

becomes effective, deliver to the director for filing a certificate evidencing the merger duly authenticated by the

officer of the state or country under the laws of which the statutory merger was effectuated. If the surviving

corporation is not authorized to transact business in this State, together with the certificate evidencing the

merger, the surviving corporation shall submit an application for withdrawal of the merged foreign corporation

executed by the surviving corporation on behalf of the merged corporation. The certificate evidencing the

merger and the application for withdrawal, each, has a $50.00 filing fee.

In all instances, if a certificate is in a foreign language, it shall be accompanied by a translation under oath of the

translator.
