Staffing issues related to high infection rates of COVID-19 on Hawaiʻi Island have prompted changes to regular services for the County of Hawaiʻi Division of Vehicle Licensing and Registration. As a result, the updated schedule includes reduced services and closures of varying offices in Hilo, Kaʻū, and Waimea.

The Hilo and Kaʻū Drivers Licensing Offices will be closed tomorrow, January 5, and expected to reopen Thursday, January 6 for Hilo and Tuesday, January 11 for Kaʻū. Additionally, Waimea will be canceling all road tests scheduled for tomorrow and will also be closed for lunch between 12-1 pm. The Hilo Vehicle Registration Office will remain open tomorrow, pending staff availability.

The County of Hawaiʻi would like to thank the community for their understanding as we all continue to battle the effects of the coronavirus locally and globally. The County remains committed to providing quality and timely service to all residents and will promptly notify the public of any further changes to regular schedules or services.
