  • Registering a car

    I'm assuming that I would need a HI residence which won't be a problem, but do I need a Hawaiian license? I am moving to Oahu for roughly a year and I was not planning on obtaining one. Thanks in advance.

        kimo55, I am coming from Boston but I'm sure my MA drivers license is still good. I was wondering about the registration process.

        Auntie, thanks for that link but I've already been there and couldn't come up with a definitive answer. I just would like to know if anyone has been through what I am about to do... Maybe, maybe not. Doesn't hurt to ask

          Are you trying to ask for info on registering your car? 'Cause the link Auntie sent has all the info about bringing in a car from the states, you need the shipping info, safety check, insurance and so forth.

            Your answer is NO, you do not need to register your car as long as your registration and license are current. You do not need to get a license unless you want to since you are not staying to live in Hawai'i.

            Good luck!

              No, I wasn't planning on bringing my current car. Thats why I can't find the info I need. I plan on purchasing a car when I get to Oahu, but I'm not sure if I need to have a HI license. That was my question. My dilemma is that I only planning on staying a year, so I didn't want to change my license...

                You don't have to have any specific state license to buy any car anywhere. Just like I can drive to CA or WA or IA and buy a car with my Oregon llicense. That's the DMV rule plain and simple, just have to have a valid US license.

                  You do not need to have a license to own a car in Hawaii. The title/registration process does not ask for a driver's license.

                  However, getting insurance on the car is a different matter.

                    Yes, Localgrl, especially when coming to the non-state of Hawaii.

                              In this case: good. He sits comfortably on the side of "don't lump Hawai`i in with the rest of the states."
