DIVISION OF MOTOR VEHICLES
We provide a range of motor vehicle, licensing, and public services, and conduct regulatory functions. We also operate five driver licensing centers on Oahu: Kapalama, Kapolei, Koolau, Wahiawa and Waianae.
- Driver licensing center locations are available here.
- Schedule appointments for in-office services at AlohaQ.
- Next-day appointments are added daily at 4:15 p.m. at all driver licensing centers, except Waianae and the Commercial Driver Licensing Office. (The purpose of next-day appointments is to offset no-shows and last-minute cancellations).
