Renewed mine in Feb 2014. No documents other than old permit and drivers license required.
Were you born in the US?
Sounds to me like they lost your prior paperwork. A certified copy of your birth certificate would probably work just fine.
I have always submitted my permit renewal paperwork with my social security number.
Applied for my renewal at HPD on 10 July. No problems there & no mention of any rule changes or posted signs.Applied for renewal July 10th also, same story...no problem, only drivers license and old permit required.
How the hell do they "lose" your paperwork in any case? Did a dog eat it? Is there a ghost or some sort of "magic" that causes properly filed paperwork to just "disappear"?When I was applying for my long gun permit in 2012, I had my identification ready and $16.50 exact change. When I got to the window the officer asked if this is a first time application. I was going to say yes then I remembered and told him I had a permit about 30 years ago. I didn't think he would even bother checking. He looked at my drivers license and opened a card file next to him and pulled out my application from the early eighties with my picture attached. It took him about 30 seconds. He gave me the forms to fill out and told me I don't have to pay anything since it's a renewal. I guess the old system is better than the new one.
Maybe they just can't figure out that whole "alphabetical order" thing. Since the "lost" paperwork contains sensitive personal info, can they be held liable if an identity thief gets their hands on it?
HPD needs to start taking this responsibility a lot more seriously, this is crap.
I stopped by the MPD firearms section and seen these signs posted all over the place.MPD? Is that Maui Police Department?

Applied for renewal July 10th also, same story...no problem, only drivers license and old permit required.Same exact thing happened to me when I applied in 2012 to purchase my first AR. They pulled my records from 1984 when I brought my revolver in from Florida.

Not sure what is up with me and permits and/or registering a firearm. I stopped by MPD and applied for a handgun permit. Noticed a new paper attached to the medical waiver, it was something to the effect of the feds doesn't approve the medicinal use of marijuana. I don't rock the green grass, so I didn't hesitate to whip my initials or signature(forgot, as I was in a rush to pick up my kid from school). Anyone else noticed this and know when this medicinal marijuana paper started? Any of the other counties have this as well?
I still see a few signs from the original post up.
I've signed that for at least 2 years in Honolulu. I think that's been the law since around 2011, ever since more states started legalizing medical marijuana in opposition to federal law.
