DMV to Open to Public on June 1, 2020

The first phase of the reopening of the Division of Vehicle Registration and Licensing will be next month after the COVID-19 pandemic forced the county to close the offices in an effort to stem the spread of the disease.

The County of Hawai‘i Department of Finance announced Tuesday the DMV will reopen to the public on June 1. Currently, the offices have offered limited in-person services for vehicle registrations or driver’s licenses (issued after May 1, 2014).
