## Quick answer

No permit is required for personal, non-commercial photography.

## Detailed answer

However, commercial photography, including film and photo shoots, requires a permit from the City and County of Honolulu. You can obtain a permit through the City's Department of Facility Maintenance. Please note that permits may take up to 30 days to process.
