Kauaʻi DMV update answers common questions on driver’s licenses, state IDs, and vehicle services
LĪHUʻE – The County of Kauaʻi Department of Finance is sharing answers to common questions about Division of Motor Vehicles (DMV) services while systems continue to be restored following the September 9 Kapule Building fire.
All DMV services on Kauaʻi are unavailable until further notice. Limited DMV staff are available at the portable trailer in Līhuʻe and at the Kapaʻa DMV, located at 4750 Kahau Road at the Kapaʻa Armory, to answer questions and accept certain documents for processing once systems are restored.
When will the DMV reopen?
We do not have a confirmed reopening date at this time. The County’s Information Technology Department is working to rebuild the County server and restore connections to the programs needed to resume DMV services. Updates will be shared as more information becomes available.
Can I take a road test?
Road tests are unavailable on Kauaʻi until further notice.
