Maybe you have to have them filled out and ready to hand over to the flight attendant or whoever? 
I agree with you, the idea or supposition that you have a sighted person with you and one that you want filling out paperwork no matter how much you like them is dumb.

How the heck does a blind person fill out a form in flight?  Whose bright
idea was that!  I suppose blind people don't travel without a sighted
companion/keeper.  Yeah right.

Brian, glad you had the website because my documents are pretty old and
things may have changed. Tracy, I just didn't want you to think I had
forgotten about sending documents. You'll definitely need that rabies titer
test along with a vet exam and current vaccination records. I think the exam
has to be with 14 days of your trip. That website will most likely tell you
all you need to know. There's a form that you fill out inflight, too, and
should indicate on that form that you need a visit from quarantine.
Definitely have your forms in easy access in your carry on.

Charlene

Tracy use this link:

I travel to Hawaii every year. If you come from America direct to Honolulu,
it's fairly straight forward as long as you have your paper work submitted
at least 2 weeks before arrival. If you are going to a neighboring Island it
is quite expensive and a lot more complicated. The link will tell you how to
go about doing all of this. If you are going direct to a neighbor island, it
is almost worth spending the night in HNL. The charges for a private vet to
come meet you at the airplane is approx $500. Coming to HNL is no charge
other than Hotel net to airport that is $240 a night. Hawaiian Air is $149
(possibly get a better deal). 
Allow at least 2 months to get you Rabies Titer test back. Very Important.
You will have to have this to come to Hawaii. When you book you tickets and
your stopping in HNL first, tell booking agent that you will need somebody
to meet you at gate to take you to Quarantine. It's a little hike but not
bad. You will go by a dumpster that you can use to relieve your Guide. There
are no pet relief areas at HNL, but there is an atrium I use in the center
of the terminal (between Main Land and Inter Island terminals) and hide
behind the bushes. Been doing it for 11 years and no one has ever
complained. (I get a hose out and wash everything down).

Now all of this changes if you fly direct to a neighbor Island!!!!

We can all thank Jenine Stanley who had a big part of allowing Guide dogs
into Hawaii.

Good luck and Aloha
