Since January 1, 2016, Hawaii counties may issue a Limited Purpose Driver License that does not require proof of legal presence or a Social Security number. Accepted identity documents include a consular ID, a passport, school records/ID, or an I-20 or DS-2019, plus two residency documents. A non-driver Limited Purpose State ID is also available to anyone unable or unwilling to prove authorized presence.","question":"Can I get a Hawaii driver license without an SSN or legal status?"},{"answer":"Hawaii driver licensing is administered by the counties, not a single statewide DMV. You apply in person by AlohaQ appointment at a county Driver Licensing Center — Honolulu (Oahu) at (808) 768-9100, County of Hawaii (808) 961-2222, Kauai (808) 241-4242, or Maui (808) 270-7363. Satellite city halls cannot issue an initial license.","question":"Where do I apply — is it the same statewide?"},{"answer":"On Oahu, the driver license is $40 for 8 years (ages 25–71), $20 for 4 years (ages 17–24), or $10 for 2 years (age 72+); the instruction permit is $5. The Hawaii state ID is $40 for 8 years (duplicate $6). Validity follows the same age bands.","question":"How much does it cost and how long is it valid?"},{"answer":"No. The Limited Purpose credential is not REAL ID compliant, is not accepted by TSA to board aircraft or enter federal facilities, and does not establish legal presence. Carry your passport for federal purposes.","question":"Can I fly with it?"}],"generated":"2026-06-28","isBasedOn":"https://hidot.hawaii.gov/highways/hawaiis-limited-purpose-drivers-license-provisional-drivers-license-and-instruction-permit-effective-jan-1-2016/","language":"en","license":"https://migrantusa.com/terms/","name":"Hawaii driver license + state ID — without SSN options for immigrants","publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"MigrantUSA","url":"https://migrantusa.com/"},"source_urls":["https://hidot.hawaii.gov/highways/hawaiis-limited-purpose-drivers-license-provisional-drivers-license-and-instruction-permit-effective-jan-1-2016/","https://www.honolulu.gov/csd/limited-purpose-drivers-license/","https://www.honolulu.gov/csd/state-id/","https://www.honolulu.gov/csd/fee-table/"],"state":"Hawaii","type":"dmv-state","url":"https://migrantusa.com/dmv/state-id-by-state/hawaii/"}
