Sorry, if someone has posted something about this already, but just wondering if anyone has tried out the new online system yet for firearm registration?

is that to register a firearm or to report an incident to the police?

The link provides the necessary forms that an applicant can fill out and print at home to apply for the permit to acquire a firearm. It helps to speed up the process of filling out the forms at the station. The registration of a firearm is after the firearm is purchased thru a dealer or FFL.

You can do both. They've added a firearm registration form to their online report system.

You mean they're actually trying to be more convenient
What's the catch?

I know right....but because of the increase in applications to acquire/registrations, the long lines, wait times and complaints...HPD had to create a way to reduce wait times, complaints and perhaps speed up the process.

Can't wait for the CCW form to go online.

to speed things along,
they can just have this:
<click here for denial letter>
is this online process for the entire apply and registration?
so how will they take your fingerprint and picture and no need visually inspect your firearm?
if so, it sounds good to me.
-
Anyone try it yet for a long gun renewal?

Looks to be some new thing, the Firearms Information page has been updated with the following:
**Effective February 1, 2016**
"You may now submit an Online Firearms Registration Form through our Online Report System by clicking here"
That would be awesome if you could avoid the physical inspection, but legally I don't think you can avoid that since the firearms inspection is a requirement in the HRS. Anything that can speed up the process is a plus in my book, I've been using the PDF forms online since they first came out and it has always saved me significant time.
I would hope that as part of the digital registration submission you would be able to fill out the complete firearm information and not just your personal information, that way they just have to cross-reference your submission with what's in front of them and verify that you have a valid permit. Whenever I've done the PDF version they only want you to fill out the personal information, they still write the firearm information manually on the form.
-
took a screenshot of the form. Interesting that there's a section in the form where you provide your 'Work schedule' and 'days off'. They looking to schedule appointments now or tell you to come back at a specific time? lol ;D
-
You register online, then hpd will do a house visit to verify the firearm, check your safe, etc
-
Per info from HPD, you can now fill out all the forms, with the exception of including your SSN and signature. Then when you go to HPD those forms are "Pre-populated" with everything except your SSN and signature. You provide your SSN, electronically sign and documents are done.
-
In all honesty, seems like a more efficient process.

It's only for gun registration, not for Permit to Acquire.

this form makes it faster for them to ONLY fill out the actual reg form they give to you. you know the one they use to have to type out on CARBON PAPER.
Now all your info auto pops on AN electronic from and all HPD has to do is edit the relevant place for new firearm on new registration
cheeee

And they tricked me into loading all my info into their database because I thought I was saving myself some time... >:(

When you fill out the paper form they transpose everything into the database and have you sign a computer terminal again, at least HPD do.
-
Yeah the new online registration setup just saves them some time by making you do their work for them. I just continue to use my pre-populated saved copy of the PDF form, they can fill in the firearm information and let me sign.
-
Will this not speed up the process to a certain point, at least cutting down the wait time somewhat? Seems that the time you wait while they are manually typing out all of the information will be cut down quite a bit, especially if there are a lot of people waiting.
While there may be more than enough room for improvement, it seems to be a step in at least a positive direction. But then again no-matter what happens, people will complain anyway.

I believe that the firearms division does nothing to help us.
quite the opposite.

I disagree.
I feel very safe when I register my firearms and get a permit. I haven't encountered a criminal yet! (knock on wood)

As far as i understand the online registration is in violation of the law "The registration shall be on forms prescribed by the attorney general, which shall be uniform throughout the State, and shall include the following information" The Attorney generals office has no knowledge of an online registration system and as only HPD has it , it is not uniform throughout the state.

This one of those issues that grinds my gears about this state - a law that is clearly laid out and has been completely ignored since before the ink dried on the legislation. AG office must be fully of lazy people!

I just submitted another question asking about who would approve the online form, and required digital signature. I did it via e-mail so i can get a written rtepsone, Last time i did it over the phone and was told that they had no idea about any online registration form and would get back to me, Never did tho.

Well, you should feel very safe. Except for the cops and everyone bringing their ammo-less guns in there to register them, it's a gun-free zone. Safety guaranteed! :shaka:

The forms that are available online thru HPD are for the purchaser to apply for the PERMIT TO AQUIRE a firearm. It allows the person to pre-fill the required information that ATTEMPTS to reduce the amount of time it would take in the HPD firearms section. There are additional forms that are only available at the Department and NOT online. The firearms registration is done at the Department and is input into an online registration system by the clerk or officer at the window, whereby the owner completes and verifies (serial#, make, model or firearm etc...) and signs the form by a touch screen computer provided for the gun owner at the window.

So i got a response to this question,
I Would like to know when the AG's office approved the online/digital only form being used only HPD, If possible i would like to be provided with a copy of the form.
this is the response i got.
Because there were many communications between the local police agencies and the attorney general, there is no one day, that the AG’s office approved the online/digital form.
You may find FIREARMS REGISTRATION ONLY at: http://www.honolulupd.org/information/index.php?page=Firearms_Registration
Applications to acquire a firearms permit are not available online. You can obtain a copy in person at HPD.
