Drivers Ed
Steps to sign up for driver's ed. If you are 15 years and 6 months of age or older, you can take the written test for a learner’s permit to drive in Hawaiʻi online. All counties are participating in a new program to allow applicants to take the knowledge test from the comfort of their home, in a classroom, or just about anywhere. Note: you must meet technology requirements and visit a driver's licensing center to complete the process.

- Applicants under the age of 18 must have an adult over the age of 18 present to participate in the registration process. The responsible adult will be required to provide first name, last name, date of birth, last five digits of their social security number, and a valid driver’s license number. During the testing, the adult must stay out of view of the webcam.
