Maui FAQs
Where do I apply for a CCW in Maui County?
In person at the Maui Police Department records division, 55 Mahalani Street, Wailuku, Hawaii.
Do Molokai and Lanai have separate permit offices?
They fall under Maui County. Plan on traveling to Wailuku on Maui for registration, fingerprinting, and filing unless MPD directs you otherwise.
Can I finish the training before I fly to Maui?
Yes. The classroom and live-fire qualification are completed on the mainland with a certified instructor, so your Maui trip is limited to county steps.
What are the Maui County fees?
$150 statutory application fee, $50 renewal every four years, plus HRA membership, training, and registration costs.
Is carry on Maui restricted after I am licensed?
Yes. Hawaii limits you to one handgun at a time, imposes a duty to inform officers, and prohibits carry on private property without express permission.
