Who needs this in Hawaii

Collection agencies that collect from Hawaii residents generally need a DCCA collection-agency license.

Where to file

File with DCCA. The Division of Financial Institutions handles other financial licenses; collection uses the DCCA collection program.

Federal overlay

State licensing does not replace the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, CFPB Regulation F, or the TCPA. Those rules apply whether or not a state issues a license.
