Submitting a Hawaii or National Register Nomination

The Hawaii/National Register Nomination project type provides the option to start the process of nominating a property to the Hawaii and National Registers of Historic Places. If nominating to the National Register two submissions are required. The first for Hawaii Register Nomination, the second for National Register Nomination. To begin your submission, click Submit in the top navigation bar to go to the Submit home page. From either the Submit contextual menu on the left side of the screen, or from the card on the home page that describes a Nomination submission – using the ‘Visit’ link, select the HI & NR Nomination option.

There are 5 sections on the Hawaii & National Register Submission screen:

Contact Information: The primary and secondary contacts for the project. These contacts will receive email notifications about the project.

Nomination Overview: Basic information about the project, including specifying the specific Resource being nominated. The Resource is selected using the ‘Select Resource’ button.

You will be routed to a confirmation message in HICRIS and a “SHPD Initial Consultation Submission Received” email will be sent to the contacts you entered at the beginning. The submission will appear in My Submissions as a ‘Submitted’ submission. SHPD will follow-up your submission with a request for further information to continue your application process.
