The ordinance, as written (Honolulu County) — Prohibition on use of unofficial age identification card with false birth date
A copy, taken August 22, 2026. The version published by Honolulu is the one that governs, and it may have changed since. Check it before relying on anything here.
(a) A person shall not use or attempt to use an unofficial age identification card with a false birth date as proof of being the requisite age to:
(1) Enter a liquor-serving or other establishment restricted to patrons of a minimum age; or
(2) Purchase liquor or another product purchasable only by persons of a minimum age.
An “unofficial age identification card with a false birth date” means an unofficial age identification card, the birth date on which is not that of the person who uses or attempts to use the card. The prohibition of this subsection applies even if the unofficial age identification card includes the disclaimer required under § 41-23.2 .
(b) Subsection (a) shall not apply when the use of a particular unofficial age identification card with a false birth date also constitutes a violation of a State law prohibiting the use of a fraudulent government document. By this subsection, the council intends to avoid a conflict with the State law.
(c) A person who violates this section shall be subject for each violation to a maximum $2,000 fine; provided that if the person is subject to the jurisdiction of the family court pursuant to HRS § 571-11(1), the punishment shall be established by that court.
