LIHU‘E — Kaua‘i residents can apply for or renew Hawai‘i State Identification Cards at the Kaua‘i County Driver’s License office, located at 4444 Rice St., Ste. A-480 in Lihu‘e.
The Department of the Attorney General will be transferring the state ID card program to the Department of Transportation, which is then administered by each of the counties, per Act 310, Session Laws of Hawai‘i 2012, which affects the issuance of Hawai‘i State Identification Cards statewide.
Effective Jan. 2, anyone applying for an original or renewal Hawai‘i State Identification Card must present documentary proof of legal name, date of birth, social security number, legal presence and proof of principal residence address in the U.S. in person at any country driver’s license office.
