Hawaii Permit Test & Driver’s License FAQ

Driver's Permit FAQ

  • What is a Hawaii instruction permit?

    A Hawaii instruction permit allows individuals aged 15 ½ or older to practice driving under the supervision of a licensed driver who is at least 21 years old. It is the initial step in Hawaii's Graduated Driver Licensing program.

  • How do I apply for an instruction permit?

    When applying for your permit, you will need to provide original state-approved documents. Go to your local driver's licensing center with proof of identity, legal presence, Social Security number, and two documents verifying your Hawaii residency. You must also pass a vision test and a written knowledge exam.

  • What are the restrictions while driving with an instruction permit?

    Permit holders must be accompanied by a licensed driver aged 21 or older seated in the front passenger seat. Driving between 11 p.m. and 5 a.m. is prohibited unless accompanied by a licensed parent or guardian. You must carry your permit with you any time you are operating the vehicle.
