Haw. Code R. § 23-202-6 - Time and method of registration

(a) Registration fees shall be paid at the time the written certification/registry identification forms are submitted to the department. Payment shall be made in the form of a personal, certified, or cashier's check or money order made payable to the narcotics enforcement division, department of public safety. Payment made in the form of stamps, foreign currency, or third party endorsed checks will not be accepted. No refund will be issued once the written certification/registry identification forms has been received at the department.

(b) No person shall engage in the use of marijuana for medical purposes, until the completed written certification/registry identification forms and registration fees are submitted to the Department by the qualifying patient's physician. Upon receipt of the written certification/registry identification forms and registration fees, the department shall issue a receipt, which shall serve as a temporary registration certificate. The temporary registration certificate shall be valid for nor more than 60 days from the date of issuance or until the department issues or denies the registry identification certificate. In the absence of a natural disaster, state emergency, or union strike which would prevent the department from reviewing the written certification/registry identification forms, any registration pending more than sixty days after receipt of the completed written certification/registry identification forms shall be deemed granted.

(c) Each certificate shall expire annually as noted on the certificate. Qualifying patients and their primary caregivers may apply for renewal not earlier than sixty days prior to the expiration date of their certificate.

(d) Failure to obtain a certificate from the department will prohibit the applicant from engaging in any activity utilizing the medical use of marijuana as designated in section 329-122, Hawaii Revised Statutes.

(e) The administrator may require an applicant to submit such documents or written statements of fact relevant to the registration, as the administrator deems necessary to verify information on the written certification/registry identification forms. The failure of the applicant to provide the documents or statements within thirty days after being mailed a request to do so shall be deemed to be a waiver by the applicant of an opportunity to present the documents or facts for consideration by the administrator in processing the registration.

(f) The termination of a certificate shall occur:

(1) Upon its expiration date;

(2) For failure to pay the applicable registration or re-registration fees; or

(3) For payment with a check that is dishonored upon first deposit that shall cause the certificate to be void ab initio.
