Annual Permit Application
Our Annual Film Permit Application may be downloaded from the links below as a fillable PDF or fillable/saveable MS Word document. We suggest that you save these forms to your computer, fill them out on your computer, print them, and fax them to us for processing.
Permit applications require your signature before submission and must be faxed to the Hawaii Film Office at (808) 586-2572. To renew your expiring annual permit, simply fax us a new permit application. Permits expire every December 31st, so be sure to apply in time for renewal.

1. Tour Group Photography:

- No animals allowed on location.
2. Scenic/Stock, Weddings, Model Portfolios (film, video, stills):
