Trusted Testing and Travel Partner(link is external) prior to departing as an alternative to Hawaii’s mandatory 5-day quarantine.
Additionally, any passengers on any commercial flight from the mainland [US], who are over the age of 18, who download the CLEAR app clearme.com/hawaii and correctly follow the directions can use Health Pass. CLEAR touts Health Pass as a “free, mobile experience by CLEAR, which securely connects a person’s verified identity to multiple layers of COVID-19 related insights, including proof of vaccination, to reduce public health risk.”
Here’s how it works: Travelers will add their negative COVID-19 test result or vaccine verification to the free CLEAR mobile app clearme.com/hawaii to generate a Health Pass. Then they can apply for a quarantine exception on the Hawaii Safe Travels website by linking their CLEAR Health Pass. The secure process may be done over a smartphone.
Employees of airlines participating in pre-clearance programs will scan a passenger’s HI QR code prior to the flight to Hawaii to ensure that all entry requirements are satisfied. Depending on the airline, travelers might receive a wristband to help expedite arrival procedures in Hawaii. If a particular airline does not provide pre- clearance service prior to departure, travelers will be screened upon arrival in Hawaii.

I recently read you're supposed to do all of this within 30 days of the trip, but I input all of the info about a month ago for a trip in mid February and suddenly got the email this morning.
I'm concerned that the CLEAR health pass says it expires soon after I arrive. I arrive in the afternoon and the health pass is set to expire around midnight that night. Is that normal?

I've got a trip coming up within 30 days so I just entered my info. The email came while I was clicking on the exemption button (I already had my vax info in there from a previous trip).
Where do you see that it expires?

The expiration is shown in the Clear app health pass right under my pic and the QR code. Says it expires at 5:14 am the day after I arrive in mid February. This is not in the safe travels email. Only in the Clear app health pass.

Because I was there recently, my Clear expiration from last trip was still there and set to expire the day before I arrived this time, so I couldn't link it to my trip. To get around that, I had to delete the Clear app from my iPhone and re-install and then re-create a Hawaii Health Pass. Then link it to my trip.

Got it. I didn't use my Clear app last trip - just uploaded my vax docs in the app. I can't remember what the Clear app adds now that there's no testing requirement . . .

Go to Safe Travels and under you trip you should see a green Exempt checkmark if your CLEAR was linked correctly to Safe Travels. If so you are good to go.

If you get Hawaii exemption though CLEAR, you receive the green check mark on Exemption. You do not need CLEAR any more.
For going to restaurants, I use California Health Pass - with a QR code on my phone's home screen.

You can actually add your CA Health Pass to your Apple Wallet using the Health App. The Apple Wallet QR code is still considered a “SMART Health card” so it can still be scanned/read at restaurants.

Thanks to all for the replies. Does anyone know the current situation at ATL with the wristbands? Will they have them in the Delta sky club or only at the gate? Most importantly, are they still giving them out? I saw that some airports stopped giving the wristbands.
If I have to get screened at HNL, is it before or after baggage claim? I will not have a checked bag. I really don't want to stand in that jammed up line that I saw pics of the other day.

I suggest you look in the Delta Forum for reports on the issuance of wristbands; just do a search for "wristbands"
Screening is done in the gateside area of the terminals on the departures level before you get to baggage claim.

I'm not saying you should be concerned, but I'm assuming you're already concerned, and I would be concerned as well - because I'm a worrier. I wouldn't like that it expires before my plane actually touches the ground. That's why I posted about deleting/re-creating the pass. I'd, honestly, just re-create the whole thing so I wouldn't worry about it. But that's me. I can't promise how all that goes since you already have a QR code and trip.

Is UA at SFO still issuing wristbands from the ticketing area? That has always been super quick compared to the massive lines at the F gates.
