Have any of you recently tried to register a firearm online with HPD,

Have you received an emailed response?

I am investigating some troubling behavior and am looking to collect some of these emails to see if there is a pattern.

So if you could share your e-mail (black out any PII) that would be great.

Submitted one on 9 November; got a confirmation that it was submitted, said it may take five business days to process.  That was eight business days ago…

When I get the registration email, I’ll pass it along.

That’s the email I’m looking for. The one that tells you about the wait.

What behavior? Do you mean the fact that they are backed up and online registrations are taking weeks?

In august they were backed up 6 weeks, in september 3 weeks, and i have one from october that is going on 4 weeks at the moment.

the submit confirmation email is automated and hasnt changed since they started online registrations. its always said "may take up to 5 days".

I submitted my registration and got the confirmation and waited almost 2 weeks. Didn't get any email about the wait. I ended up going in and they told me it's like a 4-5 week backup right now.

What concerns me is that they’ve told me on a couple of occasions to not take the firearm out of the house until I receive the registration.  I’ve been unable to find any law to that effect…

London808, how would you like me to get the screenshot to you?

I submitted on 11/17 and got this email a couple hours after I submitted from do-not-reply@honolulupd.org

Permit no.
Your firearms registration is being processed and may take up to five business days to process.

Still waiting for the registration to be emailed 10 days later

Back in Aug. I sent one. Towards the ending of week 4 I went in and just did it in person as I was planning to go to the range that weekend.

Does anybody have any idea where they get the reasoning that you can’t take the firearm out of your house until you have the registration in hand?

they are making shit up...

Because an unregistered gun is more dangerous. 

Common sense.

wow!   

I registered my Canik on November 14, 2023 online with only the response that it is being processed. It is Dcember 28, 2023 and nothing yet.

Online registration submitted Nov 2, '23 ....  went to HPD Dec 18, 19 & 20  Each time waiting about 20 minutes for a stall to open up in the lower level parking, pouring rain outside. Finally got a parking space on the 20th; waited at the registration section about 40 minutes total to get paper copy.

I submitted my handgun registration online in late October and still have not gotten my  registration approval yet
The email below 11/8 and 12/4

Aloha,
Thank you for your patience.
The online registration is backlogged 4-5 weeks.  You cannot use the firearm until you get the registration in an email from HPD. If you want the registration sooner you can come in person, no firearm needed, to register. You will need the information on the firearm, a picture/copy of the permit, and a picture of the serial number off the firearm.
If you have any questions please call (808) 723-3188


Aloha,
HPD is still working on online registration requests. It is unknown when your registration will be finalized.
 
You are still able to come in person to register the firearm. No firearm needed, just take a picture of the serial number on the firearm and a copy/picture of handgun permit or original long gun permit.

"Firearms Online Registration Submitted" October 25, 2023. My registration from "HPD Firearms Unit" recieved via email on December 19, 2023.

I registered my USP45 online and it took a little over a month for me to receive it back. coincidentally i got my registration back the day after i paid off a speeding ticket which i thought was funny. i think they were with-holding it until i paid the ticket hahaha.

Does anyone know what HPD believes is the legal basis for “you cannot use the firearm until you get the registration in an email from HPD”?  I haven’t been able to find anything in the HRS to that effect.
