The Office of Hawaiian Subjects (OHS) is a Chartered Government Reporting Agency of the continuing Hawaiian Kingdom, operating under necessity and international law. Its duty is to identify, protect, and advocate for Hawaiian Subjects — persons holding nationality under the Hawaiian Kingdom.

Yes. The Hawaiian Kingdom remains a sovereign state under international law. There was never a lawful treaty of annexation between the Hawaiian Kingdom and the United States. The Hawaiian Islands are a nation under prolonged occupation, not annexed or absorbed.

OHS was chartered by the Hawaiian Subjects under lawful necessity, based on the Hawaiian Kingdom Constitution (1864), the Compiled Laws of 1884, and international law of occupation as defined by the Hague and Geneva Conventions.

No. OHS is independent and operates under the lawful authority of the Hawaiian Kingdom and international law, not the U.S. or State of Hawaiʻi.

A Hawaiian Subject is a person holding Hawaiian nationality by birth, genealogy, or naturalization under Kingdom law. It is a matter of legal allegiance, not ethnicity.

Submit an OHS Verification form including birth records, genealogy, or other documentation connecting you to a Hawaiian Subject ancestor. OHS will review and confirm status with a Certificate of Verification.

OHS issues Certificates of Status, Verification, and Protection; Identification Cards; Jurisdictional Notices; and Tax Exemption letters consistent with Kingdom and international law.

Under Article 4 of the Geneva Convention IV (1949), Hawaiian Subjects are “Protected Persons” — civilians of an occupied state entitled to protection and exempt from the occupying power’s domestic jurisdiction.

OHS can file jurisdictional and humanitarian challenges on behalf of Hawaiian Subjects detained or charged unlawfully. OHS reports such cases to international bodies such as the ICC and the Red Cross.

It is a lawful notice giving 30 days for any agency or individual to produce proof of jurisdiction and authority to operate within the Hawaiian Kingdom. Failure to respond constitutes tacit acquiescence under international law.

OHS acknowledges its presence as a de facto government but does not recognize it as lawful under international law. All communications are issued under protest and duress of occupation.

Hawaiian Subjects are protected under the Hague Convention IV (1907), Geneva Convention IV (1949), and customary international humanitarian law.

To preserve the lawful identity, rights, and humanitarian protections of Hawaiian Subjects and maintain continuity of the Hawaiian Kingdom until full restoration and recognition are achieved.
