LĪHU‘E – Due to the global disruption of Microsoft Windows computers, the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) is limited to certain services at this time.

“Our IT officials have been working through the night on the disruption that has affected our County of Kaua‘i systems,” said Finance Director Michelle Lizama. “We have restored most of our systems to full operation; however, we are still experiencing several issues with our computers that provide DMV function. We thank our customers for their continued patience as our team diligently works to fully restore our systems and resume normal operations.”

Driver’s License transactions and services are unavailable until further notice, including state IDs and CDL transactions, and financial responsibility assistance if your driver’s license has any holds or flags.

All DMV Kiosks are also inoperable.

The DMV is able to conduct road tests and motor vehicle transactions, except for out of state vehicles.  

Additionally, no credit card transactions are available at this time. However, cash and checks are being accepted.

DMV officials will continue to assist appointment holders coming in today, July 19, as well as walk-ins, and will provide guidance and help as much as possible.  

Updates will be provided as new information becomes available.
