How to change your address with the your county DMV office

Moved within or into Hawaii? Your license and registration are the highest-stakes address updates you'll make — and usually the most deadline-bound.

The deadline: most states require a license/registration address update within 10–30 days of moving. Check the current Hawaii rule on the official site below — it changes, and this page won't pretend to know it better.

The short version

  1. Update your driver's license or state ID at the official site:https://hidot.hawaii.gov/. Most states handle it online; have your license number and new address ready. Some charge a small fee for a reprinted card.
  2. Update your vehicle registration too. It's often a separate record from your license — and tell your auto insurer, since premiums follow your garaging address.
  3. Re-register to vote. A license update usually does not move your voter registration — do it atvote.gov.

Worth knowing in Hawaii

Hawaii has no state DMV — licenses and registration are handled by your county (Honolulu, Maui, Kauaʻi, or Hawaiʻi County).

The DMV is one stop. The average mover has 15–40 accounts still pointed at the old address — Movepost finds yours from your email (headers only, it can't read your messages), opens each site, and autofills your new address while you check them off. Find my accounts free →
