A new self-service kiosk for vehicle registrations is now located at a supermarket in Lāʻie.
HONOLULU – Residents on Oʻahu’s North Shore can now renew and print motor vehicle registrations instantly on their own time at a self-service kiosk — that operates much like an ATM — inside of a supermarket.
The unattended retail technology for renewing motor vehicle registrations has been installed inside the Foodland at 55-510 Kamehameha Highway in Lāʻie, where residents have the option to renew vehicles and receive new documents in minutes – while avoiding lines and eliminating the wait time required for registrations by mail or online.
The new North Shore location brings to nine the total number of these bright yellow touch-screen terminals that are located at select supermarkets across O‘ahu, where these self-service terminals processed a record-breaking 165,656 motor vehicle registration renewals last year in the City and County of Honolulu. That figure represents a 9 percent increase from the previous record-setting year in 2023.
“The growing use of these kiosks has presented us with an opportunity to broaden access to them around O‘ahu, where our sights remain set on transitioning the registration of a motor vehicle into a convenient part of a motorist’s visit to the grocery store,” said Kim Hashiro, director of the city’s Department of Customer Services, which administers DMV services across Oʻahu.
Key advantages of the self-service kiosks include being accessible at supermarkets that are open late, if not 24/7, and accepting renewals up to 10 months past the expiration date with a $16 late fee.
In addition to the new location in Lāʻie, kiosks are located inside the Foodland at the Waipiʻo Shopping Center, and Safeway stores at the Hawai‘i Kai Shopping Center, Kāne‘ohe Bay Shopping Center, Kapolei Shopping Center, Salt Lake Shopping Center, Waimalu Shopping Plaza, Kapahulu Shopping Center, and South Beretania Street.
