To obtain a Hawaii State ID, you must meet certain requirements and provide specific documents to prove your identity and residency. Here's a detailed breakdown Hawaii State Id Requirements:

  1. Proof of Identity:

    • You will need to provide an original or certified copy of a primary identification document. This can be one of the following:
      • Valid Passport: This is an internationally recognized form of identification and serves as strong proof of your identity.
      • Certified Birth Certificate: A government-issued birth certificate with an official seal.
      • Certificate of Naturalization or Citizenship: If you are not a U.S. citizen by birthright, these documents serve as proof of your legal status.
      • Valid U.S. Visa or Permanent Resident Card: This is required for non-U.S. citizens.
  2. Social Security Number (SSN):

    • You must provide your Social Security Number or, in the case of foreign nationals, documentation from the U.S. government indicating that you are ineligible for an SSN.
  3. Proof of Residency:

    • Two documents proving your residency in Hawaii are required. These documents must display your name and residential address, and can include:
      • Utility Bills: Gas, electric, water, or landline phone bills (dated within the last two months).
      • Rental or Lease Agreement: A signed agreement for your current residence.
      • Property Tax Assessment: A current document indicating property tax payments.
      • Bank Statement: A recent statement showing your Hawaii address.
  4. Application Form and Fee:

    • You will need to fill out an application form, available at any Hawaii DMV office or online. There is a fee associated with obtaining a Hawaii State ID, which may vary depending on factors such as age and length of validity.
  5. Additional Requirements for Minors:

    • For applicants under 18, a parent or guardian's signature is required on the application form. Both the minor and the parent/guardian must provide the necessary identification documents.
  6. Photograph and Signature:

    • You will have your photograph taken, and your signature will be captured digitally as part of the application process.

It's important to note that all documents provided must be original or certified copies; photocopies are not accepted. Additionally, some documents may require verification with the issuing agency, which can add to the processing time. Be sure to check with the Hawaii Department of Transportation for any updates or changes to these requirements. For more information visit IDPAPA
