I have purchased 2 vehicles off Craigs list, including one last November. Both sales went smoothly. To register the vehicle I made an appointment which took 3 weeks to get. They needed the signed certificate of title, current valid registration, and current valid safety inspection sticker. They also wanted a government issued ID. I think I used my passport. They were not interested in where I lived. Most areas around here don't have mail delivery, so your address may well be a PO Box or mail drop off store.

What was way more difficult was getting a Hawaii driver's license. Your current license is good until it expires and can be traded in at any time once you can prove a valid address. But, if you wait until it expires you will have to take both a written and road test.
You can always call the DMV to double check. I've had reasonably good luck calling the Pahoa DMV just as they open. After that it goes to recording.
