Note that since not all states allow this, it’s best to check with the DMV for detailed info about how the rules apply to you. With a valid out of state license, you are not required to possess a Hawaii driver’s license even if your car is registered in Hawaii and has Hawaii plates. To obtain a Hawaii license, you must apply to take the written test before your current license expires. Otherwise, you will be required to take the road test as well. Schedule or reschedule a driver’s license road test for one of Oahu’s driver’s licensing offices online at www12.honolulu.gov/csdarts/default.aspx. Be sure to view the Road Test video for helpful tips. Last summer, the city’s Driver Licensing Branch launched an express service for behind-the-wheel testing to obtain a Hawaii driver’s license at the city’s Motor Vehicle Control Branch located at 1112 Kapahulu Ave. The new Express Office allows applicants to book an appointment a week in advance at HonoluluRoadTest.org. The service is available from 0830 to 1430 Monday through Friday. Wait times to book an appointment at other road test sites across Oahu are typically four-to-eight weeks. Note, however, that applicants passing the road test at Kapahulu Express must drive roughly two miles to the Sheridan Road Test Office at 833 Piikoi St. for processing paperwork to obtain their Hawaii driver’s license. At press time, the Sheridan Road Test Office continues to operate as a full-service location. For other helpful tips, visit www12.honolulu.gov/csdarts/default.aspx. Even if an out-of-state licesne is held, individuals ages 15-17 are subject to Hawaii’s three-stage Graduated Drivers License Program (GCL). Stages include Learners Permit, Provisional License and Full License. Check the website listed above for details. Transportation 77
