HRS §490:9-520
When the filing office can reject your record
The filing office can only reject a record for the reasons listed in the law. If it rejects, it must tell you why and when it would have filed it. A filed financing statement is still valid even if the office should have rejected it.

The statute, as written — Acceptance and refusal to accept record
(a) A filing office shall refuse to accept a record for filing for a reason set forth in section 490:9-516(b) and may refuse to accept a record for filing only for a reason set forth in section 490:9-516(b). (b) If a filing office refuses to accept a record for filing, it shall communicate to the person that presented the record the fact of and reason for the refusal and the date and time the record would have been filed had the filing office accepted it. The communication must be made at the time and in the manner prescribed by filing-office rule but in no event more than two business days after the filing office receives the record. (c) A filed financing statement satisfying section 490:9-502(a) and (b) is effective, even if the filing office is required to refuse to accept it for filing under subsection (a). However, section 490:9-338 applies to a filed financing statement providing information described in section 490:9-516(b)(5) which is incorrect at the time the financing statement is filed. (d) If a record communicated to a filing office provides information that relates to more than one debtor, this part applies as to each debtor separately.
