Hawaii Knowledge Test

You will take the knowledge exam at a Hawaii Driver Licensing Office. Most offices conduct written exams on a walk-in basis, but a few offices conduct written exams only by appointment. Find an office near you.

Take a free practice test

What is included in the test?

There are 30 multiple-choice questions about the rules of the road and traffic control devices. All questions are based on Hawaii Driver's Manual. You are expected to answer at least 24 questions correctly to pass the test.

How to prepare for the test?

Study the Hawaii Driver's Manual, then take free practice tests available here. The tests will help you determine if you have studied the driver's manual enough, and which areas you may need to study more. When you feel comfortable with your score, you are ready!

What common mistakes should I avoid?

The most common mistake comes from not knowing enough information out of the manual. This happens when people study solely with practice tests. Make sure you read the manual first. Another problem is rushing through questions. Take your time and remember what you have studied.

Can I use the driver's manual when I take the actual test at the licensing office?

Absolutely not! This is not an open book test. The purpose of the test is to make sure you understand and apply the rules of the road.

Can I take the test in any other language but English?

Yes. There are 12 other languages being offered at licensing centers. The languages include the following: Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Vietnamese, Tongan, Samoan, Tagalog, Ilocano, Hawaiian, Spanish, Chuukese and Marshallese.

What happens if I fail the test?

You will have to study more and retake the test after at least 7 days. You will pay between $1 and $5 for each new attempt depending on your county.

Not sure if you are a resident of Hawaii?

Are you a Hawaii resident?

Hawaii defines a resident of the state as an individual who is either domiciled in the state or resides in the state. You are considered to reside in the state if you are in the state for more than 200 days per year, unless you maintain a permanent place of abode elsewhere.

I've Got a Valid Out-of-State License

Moving from another US state, territory or Canada? Welcome to Hawaii!

Moving from another state?

If you hold a valid driver's license from another US state, the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, the US Virgin Islands, American Samoa, Guam, the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, or a province of the Dominion of Canada, Hawaii will not require you to transfer your driver's license.

However, if you wish to transfer it to Hawaii before it expires, or the jurisdiction that issued that license requires the transfer, you may do it in person at a Hawaii Driver Licensing Office.

Plan of Action

  1. Fill out and submit an application for a driver's license.
  2. Submit documentation to verify the following:

    • Your identity, including your legal name
    • Your date of birth
    • Your Social Security number or proof of ineligibility for a Social Security number
    • Your US citizenship (or your legal presence in the US if you are not a US citizen)
    • Your residential address in Hawaii

    Use this interactive guide to choose documents if you live in Honolulu or Mauiu counties.

    Check the lists of acceptable documents for Hawaii county and for Kauai county.

  3. Pass a vision test.
  4. Pass a written exam.

    Most offices conduct written exams on a walk-in basis, but a few offices conduct written exams only by appointment. Prepare online before you go. If you fail, you will have to wait 7 days before trying the test again.

  5. Surrender your out-of-state license. (If you are applying in Maui, sign a notification letter, stating that you have voluntarily surrendered your out-of-state driver's license.)
  6. Be fingerprinted and have your picture taken.

I've Got a Valid Foreign License

Moving from another country? Welcome to Hawaii!

If you hold a driver's license issued by a country other than Canada and you become a new resident of Hawaii, you must transfer your foreign license to a Hawaii driver's license within one year if you wish to keep driving in Hawaii. You won't have to surrender your foreign license but will have to take a written test and a road test (no road tests for holders of Taiwanese or Korean licenses). If you hold a Canadian driver's license, check here.

Plan of action

  1. Apply in person

    You will need to apply at a Hawaii Driver Licensing Office. Note that not all offices offer the same services. Contact the office you choose to find out if it issues driver's licenses.

  2. Complete the Applicaton form
  3. Submit required documentation

    The documentation you bring should verify the following:

    • Your identity, including your legal name
    • Your date of birth
    • Your Social Security number or proof of ineligibility for a Social Security number
    • Your US citizenship (or your legal presence in the US if you are not a US citizen)
    • Your residential address in Hawaii

    Use this interactive guide to choose documents if you live in Honolulu or Mauiu counties.

    Check the lists of acceptable documents for Hawaii county and for Kauai county.

    If you are not a US citizen, your legal presence in the US will be verified with the USCIS. You will be charged a small fee (typically $1.00) for this.

    If you are applying for a Limited Purpose license or Limited Purpose instructional permit in any county, select documentation from this Limited Purpose FAQ.

  7. Schedule and pass a road test

    Most offices require you to make an appointment. (An exception is the Hilo office in Hawaii County, which also conducts road tests on a first come, first served basis.) Read more about road tests here.

    Skip the road test if you have a valid license issued by Taiwan or Korea.

  8. Have your picture taken and get fingerprinted

  9. Get your temporary license

The licensing office will issue you a temporary Class 3 or Limited Purpose full driver's license. Your plastic Class 3 or plastic Limited Purpose full driver license will arrive within two to four weeks.
