What Are the Basics?
When you move within or to Hawaii, you need to make sure to register that move by changing your address. The way you’ll do this will vary based on which island you live on and which county you live in. If you have any questions, you should go to your local DMV or Satellite City Hall, so that you can ask for specific paperwork available in your area.

Hawaii County
If you live in Hawaii County, you will need to send your updated address along with your:
- Signature

- Name
to:
Hilo, HI 96720
Remember to include at least two documents that prove your new address, such as utility bills.

How Long Do I Have to Complete This?

How Do I Change My Address If I Am Moving To Hawaii from Another State?
If you are moving into Hawaii for another state, you will need to get a new driver’s license and change your address. The state prefers that you complete this in person at your local DMV.
Head to your local DMV in:
- Hawaii
- Maui County
- Honolulu County
- Kauai County
Services for an out-of-state change of address are usually not available online, and depending on where you are, you won’t be able to get any other support online, either. It’s usually best to get to the local DMV to change your address, update your license and register your vehicle upon arrival, but you have up to 30 days.
How Long Do I Have to Complete This?
You will have 30 days to complete your change of address form when you move to Hawaii, but it’s better to do it sooner rather than later.
