Can I collect passport numbers from participants in Hawaii? What are the requirements?
Based on the additional context documents, it appears that you may be asking about collecting passport numbers for voter registration purposes in Hawaii. In this case, the following requirements apply:
According to Hawaii Administrative Rules (HIAR) 3-177-550 [2.1], if an application is used for verification purposes at a voter service center, the voter will be required to provide their name, date of birth, residence address, and mailing address. Additionally, the voter will provide their Hawaii Driver License Number, Hawaii State Identification number, or the last four digits of their Social Security Number, if they do not have a Hawaii Driver License or Hawaii State Identification Card. If the voter indicates they originally had none of these when they initially registered and instead were issued a unique identification number by election officials, then the applicant shall write that number on the application.
It is important to note that HIAR 3-177-550 also provides alternative methods for verifying a voter’s identity, such as providing a current and valid photo identification or providing a witness who is a registered voter who will vouch in writing for the identity of the voter.
Therefore, if your query is related to collecting passport numbers for voter registration purposes in Hawaii, you may collect passport numbers as long as they are collected in conjunction with the voter registration application and the other required information is also collected. However, alternative methods for verifying a voter’s identity are also available.
If your query is related to a different purpose, such as obtaining a Hawaii Certificate of Foreign Birth or a Hawaii driver’s license or permit, please refer to the existing response for the specific requirements.
