Driver license reciprocity agreements were established between Hawaii and Japan, Korea and Taiwan with certain conditions. \u00a0Applicants who qualify for reciprocity privileges are not required to take the driver\u2019s license written and road test.\u00a0 However, an expired foreign driver\u2019s license is not transferable and requires the written and road tests.<\/p>

The application process is the same as for an out-of-state driver\u2019s license transfer. Applicants are also required to submit a verification letter, which must be notarized, translated and sealed by their respective consulates, a valid foreign license, and the required REAL ID documents.<\/p>

The process requires applying in person and an appointment is required. \u00a0Make an appointment for an out-of-state driver\u2019s license transfer at\u00a0AlohaQ<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>

An applicant is required to surrender his or her foreign driver\u2019s license.\u00a0 It will be invalidated and returned to the applicant.\u00a0 A temporary type-3 license will be issued; documents will be verified; and a permanent plastic card will be mailed in six-to-eight weeks.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
