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.
