How to Register a Vehicle
Visit your nearest Hawaii Department of Transportation office in the county you reside in. Hawaii does not have a statewide Department of Motor Vehicles. Instead, vehicle registration is handled by each county. For registration information, contact your county’s motor vehicle office:
- Application for Registration: Required if the county requires a registration application for the transaction.
- Bill of Sale: Helpful
- Certificate of Title
- Proof of Hawaii Motor Vehicle Insurance
- Safety Inspection Certificate
- Valid Registration: If applicable.
Out-of-State Purchase
- Out-of-State Permit: If the vehicle will only be used temporarily in Hawaii, an out-of-state permit may be required instead of full registration.
Notes
- Registration requirements vary by county in Hawaii.
