Informing the Legislature that on June 24, 2026, the Governor signed the following bill into law: HB1667 HD1 SD1 CD1 (ACT 132).

This bill, known as Act 132, updates Hawaii's identification card application requirements to include a self-certification process for an applicant's gender designation. It mandates that all ID applications contain specific personal details, such as citizenship status, veteran status, and a digitized photograph, while removing the previous age threshold for parental signature from eighteen to sixteen years. The law explicitly states that individuals cannot be required to provide documentation proving their birth gender, relying instead on their own declaration of chosen gender. These changes to the identification process are set to take effect on July 1, 2027.
