Driver's License
#1
Does anyone know if you have to take the driver's license exam in order to transfer you license from another state? I've been trying to find some info on the net, but nothing so far....

You have to take a written test and pass the eye exam.

If you have a valid driver's license from another state, you have to take a written test, but no driving test. There is a study guide available for purchase, and I think they have them at the Public Libraries, too.

Cheers,

The Hawaii Drivers Manual is also available online at:

Lotus,

You will be able to study the manual the day of your test. I would really urge you and yours to study the manual for awhile.
The test is simple traffic info, but the questions can be a bit tricky.

Good Luck !

You don't have to get a Hawaii license to drive legally in the state. Your current license is valid until it expires. For example my license from AZ is good until 2017, so I did not apply for Hawaii.

The hitch is that if you want kamaina rates you need a valid HI drivers license or a state ID card. So I went and got a state ID card. (Note: Depending on whether you have an actual house address you might have to wait six months to prove residency to get the state ID.) For most is probably best to get the HI license…

Tolleys, you are correct, but by State law you have to register your vehicle here within 30 days and once you do your insurance company will want you to have a HI drivers license.

tolleys,

Yep... I did that myself... I got a state ID, and kept my oregon lic. I like it because it's cheap and you don't have to take a test or anything... You can renew online and they just send you a sticker to place over you other sticker! Smile I think I have 2 or 3 stickers on my ODL. Anyway, I own a property in oregon so I use that addy for my ODL.

Tho, I haven't registered my vehicle yet. It's almost been a year! Sigh.... Yeah...yeah.. bad me...bad me... Smile Plates are still good and I got a safety that's still good. I guess I got to pay some sort of fine. I called em up and they said it was pretty cheap as long as the plates are still valid! Smile key word "VALID"!
