You may drive in Hawaii with a valid driver’s license issued by another state if you are 18 years of age or older. If you wish to transfer your out of state driver’s license to a Hawaii Driver License, you must comply with the following requirements before the expiration of your out of state license: 

1. Provide proof of Legal Presence
2. Provide proof of Principle Residence
3. Complete a Driver License application that is available at any driver licensing office 
4. Be 18 Years of Age or Older 
5. Present Proof of your Social Security Number with an original Social Security Card that has the printed name of the applicant. Please note: we do not accept photo copies of the Social Security Cards. You may also use one of the following as proof of your Social Security Number: 
   • A Medicare Card with the name and Social Security number of the applicant.
   • A Military Identification Card or an original DD-214 
6. Your out of state driver license must be cleared from all stoppers 
7. Surrender your valid plastic driver’s license that was issued by the other state. If you do not have the plastic driver’s license you will be required to apply as a new applicant, requiring you to pass a 30 question multiple choice examination and pass a road test. The testing fees will be collected before the tests are administered  

Sign a notification letter, addressed to the administrator of the out of state driver license bureau, stating you are applying for a Hawaii Driver’s License and you have voluntarily surrendered your out of state driver’s license. Upon complying and after payment of the appropriate fees you will be issued a Hawaii Driver’s License
