I’m originally from the Big Island but I moved to Oahu for work and am trying to deal with a Hawaii license transfer situation and could use some advice.
I went to the DOT to transfer my out-of-state license (I got this while attending college) to a Hawaii license, but because certain situations they now require me to take a road test before they’ll issue my Hawaii license. The problem is I had already surrendered both of my out-of-state licenses during the process, so right now I don’t even have a physical license or state ID anymore and have just been using my passport for identification.
The DOT mailed me a letter on May 4 saying I had 30 days to complete the road test, but the letter went to my former mailing address at my grandma’s house since that’s the address I had on file at the time while temporarily living with her. I’m not living there anymore, so I didn’t receive the letter until much later when what I’m assuming was another relative forwarding my mail.
Now I’m scrambling trying to find: - the best/easiest place on Oahu to take the road test, - recommendations for locations that are less stressful or more reasonable, - and possibly options for renting/borrowing a vehicle for the test (my family is too busy to let me borrow a car here).
Since I’m from the Big Island, I’m not familiar with which testing locations people recommend on Oahu. I need a license for job opportunities and do know how to drive (hence my out of state licenses) but am unfamiliar with Driving on Oahu.
