ยง504-1ย Registration of federal judgments.ย
Judgments of United States courts may be registered, recorded, docketed, and
indexed in the bureau of conveyances or with the assistant registrar of the
land court in the same manner as judgments of the courts of the State.ย Except
as otherwise provided, every judgment shall contain or have endorsed on it the
State of Hawaii general excise taxpayer identification number, the federal
employer identification number, or the last four digits only of the social security
number for persons, corporations, partnerships, or other entities against whom
the judgment is rendered.ย If the judgment debtor has no social security
number, State of Hawaii general excise taxpayer identification number, or
federal employer identification number, or if that information is not in the
possession of the party seeking the registration, recordation, docketing, or
indexing of the judgment, the judgment shall be accompanied by a certificate
that provides that the information does not exist or is not in the possession
of the party seeking registration, recordation, docketing, or indexing of the
judgment.ย Failure to disclose or disclosure of an incorrect social security
number, State of Hawaii general excise taxpayer identification number, or federal
employer identification number shall not in any way adversely affect or impair
the lien created upon the registration, recordation, docketing, or indexing of
the judgment. [L 1951, c 295, ยง1; RL 1955, ยง347-1; HRS ยง504-1; am L 1990, c
