Haw. Code R. § 16-97-12 - Permanent place of business

(a) Each licensee shall be required to maintain a permanent place of business in the state where the firm, principal guard or detective may receive service of process. For purposes of this section "permanent place of business" means a physical address, not a post office box number. A permanent place of business shall comply with the zoning requirements of the applicable county.
(b) Attorney's offices or other similar business offices in the State may be listed as the place of business for out-of-state licensees not conducting detective or guard services in the State provided that an individual within the office is or acts as an agent or representative of the licensee who:
(1) Can be served with notice and legal process;
(2) Shall receive all inquires and other correspondence in this State on behalf of the licensee; and
(3) Shall be responsible to see that the inquiries and other correspondence are responded to or addressed in a timely manner.

If an attorney's office or other similar office in the State is listed as the place of business for an out-of-state licensee, information regarding the name of the agent or representative, and a telephone number where the agent or representative can be contacted shall be provided to the board and made available to the public.

(c) A licensee may use the licensee's residence address as the business address provided that the licensee is in compliance with the respective county zoning requirements. Using a personal residential address shall make that address a public record and therefore, disclosable to the public.
(d) Out of state addresses may be used as the place of business for out-of-state licensee; provided that the license of the out-of-state licensee is on inactive status. Inactive status is provided for in section 463-10, HRS.
