1. What do I need to participate in the vaccine exception program?
Any traveler who is fully vaccinated against COVID-19 in the United States or U.S. Territories will be eligible for the quarantine exception. This means two shots of Pfizer or Moderna vaccine or one dose of Johnson and Johnson plus 15 days after the last dose.
2. Travelers must still create an account in Safe Travels Hawai‘i
Enter their trip details, upload their vaccination documentation, sign the legal attestations, and within 24 hours of departing to Hawai‘i, complete the online health questionnaire.
3. Travelers will need one of the following vaccination records as proof of vaccination:
- A CDC COVID-19 vaccination card (preferred)
- VAMS (Vaccine Administration Management System) printout or certificate
- DOD DD Form 2766C.
- A SMART Health Card with your vaccine record (which can be uploaded via CommonPass or vaccine record uploaded to CLEAR Health Pass)
- Proof of vaccination (source document) provided by a medical provider or authorized COVID-19 vaccination administrator.
4. The documents listed above must clearly state:
- Traveler’s name and date of birth (which must match the name on the traveler’s Safe Travels account and their official photo ID)
- Vaccine type (i.e., Pfizer, Moderna, Johnson & Johnson)
- Date(s) vaccination was administered
- Lot number(s) for each shot
- Vaccination site or location which must be within the United States or its territories.
5. All information must be clear and readable.
If a traveler’s document is missing information, they should return to the provider to request a completed duplicate CDC COVID-19 Vaccination Record Card or proof of vaccination. Additionally, the traveler can contact their local Department of Health. If this requirement is revised in the future, it will be posted on our Hawai‘i COVID-19 website.
6. Create an online account and register with the State of Hawaii’s Safe Travels Hawai‘i Digital Platform
Enter the trip information for your flight from the U.S. Mainland, Alaska or U.S. Territory to Hawai‘i.
7. Upload your vaccine documents – they can only be uploaded into the system when linked to a trip in your account – fill out the necessary information and sign the legal attestations. Note: Once the vaccine data is verified either by the Department of Health’s Hawai‘i Health Information Exchange (DOH HHIE) system or by airport personnel, it can be used for future trips. You will not have to upload your vaccine document again.
Bring the original or hard-copy CDC Vaccination Record Card, VAMS printout, VAMS printout or certificate, DD 2766C or vaccination source document with you when you travel to show the screeners either at your boarding gate or once you have arrived in Hawai‘i (physical documents are preferred but digital copies will be accepted subject to further scrutiny). Screeners will review to ensure that the uploaded documentation matches your photo ID and the name in your Safe Travels account, that the information is complete, and it is 15 days past the last shot. They will also verify that the documentation is uploaded and the attestations are signed.
