CHAPTER V. - ON SUBJECTS AND FOREIGNERS

SECTION I. The bureau of naturalization shall be presided over, superintended and managed by the Minister of the Interior, who may assign its immediate duties to a clerk, who shall open and keep a journal of all the matters detailed in the following articles of this chapter, and preserve for said minister all correspondence with the respective governors in relation thereto.

ARTICLE I. - ALIENS, DENIZENS AND KANAKA MAOLI (NATIVES)

SECTION I. It shall be incumbent upon all foreigners coming from foreign countries into this kingdom, whether for transient purposes or with intent to remain permanently, and being at the time aliens to this, to bring and here exhibit before landing, a passport from some competent officer in the country whence such foreigner shall have come, descriptive of the person, age, sex and vocation of such foreigner, and properly authenticated, so as to be attested by the diplomatic agent, consul or commercial agent here resident, of the country whence such foreigner shall have come.

SECTION II. It shall be incumbent on every such foreigner, before landing, and before removing from a vessel any articles of baggage, to cause his passport to be seen, and its genuineness attested by the endorsement of some diplomat agent, consul or commercial agent in this kingdom. It shall be his duty to exhibit said passport to the governor of the island, or if he be absent, to the collector of the customs at the port where such foreigner shall have arrived. Before landing personal baggage from on board a foreign vessel, it shall be further incumbent on every foreigner coming into the kingdom, to obtain a permit from the collector of the customs, as prescribed in the third part of this act. For certifying the authenticity of every passport, the diplomatic agent, consul or commercial agent shall be entitled to collect at law, for his own use, from the bearer; and

for examining the same when so certified, the governor, and for every permit to land baggage the said collector of customs shall severally be entitled to collect, for the use of the royal exchequer, the fees prescribed in the third part of this act.

SECTION III. All persons born within the jurisdiction of this kingdom, whether of parent native of this kingdom, and afterwards coming to reside in this, shall be deemed to owe native allegiance to His Majesty Akahi Nui. All such persons shall be amendable to the laws of this kingdom as kanaka maoli (native) subjects. All persons born abroad of foreign parents, shall, unless duly naturalized, as in this article prescribed, be deemed aliens, and treated as such, pursuant to the laws.

SECTION IV. All aliens shall, as in Great Britain and the United States of America continue to be under the following disabilities:

  1. They are not eligible to any civil or military office in this kingdom, created by the laws.
  2. They are not entitled to vote at any election for elective officers of this kingdom, nor to take any official share in the administration of the government.
  3. They are not able to acquire any allodial or fee simple estate in lands.
  4. They are not entitled to the registration of their vessels in this kingdom, nor to hoist thereon the Hawaiian flag.

SECTION V. Aliens are not, however, exempted from the taxes imposed by law, nor are they less than subjects, amenable to the punishments, fines, penalties, and forfeitures prescribed by the several acts of this kingdom.

SECTION VI. Aliens coming to reside and do business, or acquire advantages in this kingdom, shall, in order to the validity of their transactions, and to the valid acquisition of such advantages, exhibit to the Minister of the Interior their passport, certified as herein before required, and shall obtain from said minister, a certificate of nationality in the following form:

This is to certify that _____, a native of _____, in ____, has come to reside in the Hawaiian Islands, and to subject himself to the laws so long as he shall remain; and all authorities thereof are required to respect the rights guaranteed to him by law as a domiciled alien.

Given under my hand, and the seal of the interior department, at _____, this ____day of ____, 20____.

____________________(L.S.)

The minister of the interior shall demand and receive for every such certificate, the fees prescribed in the third part of this act.

SECTION VII. No co-partnership among aliens residing and doing mercantile or other business in this kingdom, shall be valid in law, until its members resident, shall have obtained a certificate of nationality, as in this article prescribed; neither shall any leasehold estate be considered validly acquired by any such alien; but the ordinary transactions and individual agreements of aliens, not resulting from co-partnership, nor from the leasehold of lands and tenements, and the obligations of the general law maritime and merchant, disconnected from co-partnership, shall not, in any other respect, be affected by the want of such certificate.

SECTION VIII. Aliens duly enrolled by the Minister of the Interior, and receiving certificates of nationality, shall be denominated domiciled, and be entitled to all the particular privileges granted by law to domiciled foreigners, in addition to those not specially precluded by law to aliens in this kingdom. They shall be capable of taking by will, an inheritance in lands and tenements less than allodial or fee simple; of acquiring, owning, possessing, enjoying, disposing of, and of transmitting by inheritance, any chattel property, real or personal, within this kingdom. They shall be entitled to all the marital and parental rights, the rights of dower, of curtsey and of divorce; and they shall be compatible to do all the marital and parental duties defined in the laws of this kingdom.

They, in common with all other aliens, shall be civilly and criminally responsible in all respects to the extent of the rights and privileges conferred on them by law, and be entitled to seek international intervention when all the internal recourses afforded by the laws of this kingdom shall have been fully and finally resorted to for redress without just effect, but not otherwise. They shall, when domciliated as aforesaid, be compatible to pay all taxes and assessments applicable to personal and real chattels, and to contribute to the maintenance of schools. The right of civil redress shall be allowed them in the courts personal liberty and security, as modified by law.

SECTION IX. If any master of a vessel shall suffer the baggage of an alien foreigner coming into any of the ports of this kingdom, to be removed on shore from his vessel before compliance with provisions of this article, such master shall be liable to pay, for the use of this government, five hundred dollars for each offense; and the baggage so landed, shall be liable to seizure, confiscation and sale for that purpose, in the courts of this kingdom, as prescribed in the act to organize the judiciary; the foreigner so offending, shall also be amenable to the like fine, and to banished the realm.
