Honolulu Division of Motor Vehicles Assists Kauaʻi Residents After Fire Disrupts Services

The City and County of Honolulu Division of Motor Vehicles is temporarily assisting Kauaʻi residents who require duplicate driver's licenses. This assistance comes after a recent fire in the Kāpule Building at Līhuʻe Civic Center severely disrupted Kauaʻi County government facilities, halting standard driver licensing services. The fire destroyed the primary administrative and information technology hub for Kauaʻi’s Division of Motor Vehicles, leaving many residents unable to access essential credential replacements. Kauaʻi County residents can now use Honolulu's online portal to request a replacement or duplicate copy of their valid Hawaiʻi driver’s license. The service is specifically for exact duplicate requests and cannot be used for changes to names, residential addresses, or personal data. The standard fee for an online duplicate is $7, and the new credential will be mailed directly to the applicant's address, with delivery expected within five weeks.
