Authorized-to-Move Form

WHY IS THIS FORM REQUIRED?
Hawaii State Law (HRS 286-271) requires drivers of vehicles that they do not own to obtain the written permission of the registered owner to move a vehicle between islands.

WHO NEEDS THIS FORM?
If you are not the registered owner of the vehicle you plan to drive aboard Hawaii Superferry, you must present a notarized copy of this form at check-in or the vehicle will be denied boarding. (If you are the vehicle’s registered owner, this form is not required.)

• You must have this form even if the vehicle is owned by another family member such as your spouse, parent or child.
• Commercial vehicle owners need this form for each commercial driver and vehicle.
• Drivers of rented vehicles have a special procedure. Check with your rental agency.

WHAT DOES THE REGISTERED VEHICLE OWNER NEED TO DO?
The registered owner must complete this form and execute it in the presence of a Notary Public. Extended authorization periods can eliminate the need to get a new form each time vehicle moves. A short authorization period and just one island can limit vehicle movement. We suggest you keep this form in the glove compartment.
