Having been in the legal profession for decades, the one thing I learned and practice to this very day is total and complete organization of and compliance with any and all of the rules and regulations needed to do any such transactions as needed, including the DMV - no matter how ridiculous in nature they may be.
A simple check of the REQUIREMENTS to title and register an out of State vehicle are quite clear and concise:
Transfering an Out-of-State Vehicle Registration | Hawaii County, HI Vehicle Registration & Licensing
Note one of the specific requirements:
"If we do not have the weight of the vehicle as established by the manufacturer; you may be required to have the vehicle weighed at a state certified scale. A weight slip is required for vehicles models 2016 and newer."
In as much as I cannot fathom the need to have the vehicle weighed when its weight can be easily obtained thru numerous sources escapes me. But it is clearly stated in the rules, so as "The Borg" would say; "Resistance is Futile!"
And while I think it's common knowledge that the DMV is a bureaucracy of monumental incompetence, my one and only true real beef with them, as well as the State of Hawaii in general, is that Good Friday is a State Holiday.
