Where are driver's licenses issued in Hawaii?
At a single state Department of Motor Vehicles headquarters in Honolulu.
Hawaii uses a county-level system, not state.
By the U.S. Department of Transportation.
Licensing is state-delegated, never federal.
By the driver's county Driver License Division (Honolulu, Hawaii, Kauai, or Maui).
Online only.
Initial licenses require in-person service.
Hawaii is unusual in delegating driver licensing to its four counties — Honolulu, Hawaii (Big Island), Kauai, and Maui — rather than running a statewide DMV. Rules are set at the state level, but applicants apply, test, and receive licenses through their county's Driver License Division.
