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 honolulu.gov/csd/road-test. Be sure to view the Road Test video for helpful tips. In 2023, 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 Express Office allows applicants to book an appointment a week in advance on their website. Drivers passing road tests at the Kapahulu site may now complete paperwork for a driver’s license at the same location. Previously, drivers were required to process their paperwork at the Sheridan Road Test Office, which permanently closed on Dec. 29, 2023. Also worth noting is that the HDOT’S Motor Vehicle Safety Office has relocated from Punchbowl Street to 98-339 Ponohana Place in Aiea. And the Business License, Bicycle and Moped Services Office has moved to the Kapalama Driver Licensing Center, 925 Dillingham Blvd. #101. Even if an out-of-state license 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. When visiting the DMV for your appointment, present your social security card, current out-of-state license and birth certificate. Minors must have both parents’ signatures to apply. After completing an application, you will be given a written test and vision test. Vision must be 20/40 corrected. To prepare for the written test, a downloadable manual is available on the Hawaii official Department of Transportation website. Transportation 77
