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.
