l just recently moved from a military base in japan, and while l was there l took a driving class, which included a written test, driving hours and then a road test. l have a certificate and everything, and from there l was able to obtain an international drivers license so that l can drive in the states. Is that enough to now get a Hawaii Drivers license? or do l still have to take the driving part of the test? (l know l have to take the written portion)
thanks!

 

What are the actual requirements to obtain a Hawaii driving license

You can drive with ur international license for one year in hawaii. But to get a hawaii DL, here is the info from the DMV. Looks like u have to take the driving test.

What r the requirements to apply for an instruction permit for foreign nationals who have valid foreign licenses?

You need to proceed to the Social Security office & apply for a number. If u r not eligible to get a social security number, please advise that office to fax the verification letter to the nearest driver licensing office. You also need to bring ur valid passport with an attached I-94 card. Fill an application for a type 3 (car) instruction permit. You will be required to take a general knowledge test. Upon passing the eye test & the written test, u will be given a type 3 permit. A road test is also required after passing the written test. Upon passing the road test, we will invalidate ur foreign license & notify the proper agency. Fees: $2 test, $5 permit, $8 road test fee & $18 for the license.
