Sheriff or Private Process Server in Honolulu County
Rule 4(c) of the HRCP answers whether the sheriff must carry the papers.

In any county the chief of police or a duly authorized subordinate may also serve.
Who May Serve and How: HRCP Rule 4 in Ewa Villages
Rule 4(d)(1) describes three ways to complete personal service on an individual, and the summons and complaint travel together. The server can deliver them to the person directly. If the person cannot be found, they can be left at the dwelling house or usual place of abode with someone of suitable age and discretion who lives there. Or they can be delivered to an agent authorized by appointment or by law to receive service.
For an organization, Rule 4(d)(3) points to an officer, a managing or general agent, or another authorized agent. When delivery is done, the server files proof of service with the court under Rule 4(g), promptly and no later than the response time. Rule 12(a)(1) generally allows 20 days from service to answer, unless a statute or court order sets different timing. The Rule 4 text we reviewed has no fixed deadline for completing service.

Eviction Notices and Summary Possession in Ewa Villages
Chapter 521 of the HRS is the landlord-tenant code. It requires a landlord's written notice ending a month-to-month tenancy to be at least 45 days before the termination date, and a tenant's written notice ending one to be at least 28 days before.
For unpaid rent or a breach, the notice period is also set by chapter 521. Confirm it in the current statute or in the notice itself, because the landlord or attorney decides and the server only delivers. A mediation program for nonpayment evictions, created by Act 278 of 2025, started in 2026 and applies before a case is filed. See eviction notices.
