Can I Get My Learner’s Permit Online in Hawaii?

Reaching the legal age to operate a motor vehicle in Honolulu, HI, is a significant milestone in a young person’s life. It signifies their transition towards adulthood. As this important event approaches, our agents at Innovative Insurance Resources are ready to discuss insurance options to ensure everything is in place for legal driving in Hawaii.

When Can I Obtain My Learner’s Permit?

In Hawaii, a person can apply for a learner’s permit once they reach the age of 15 years and 6 months. The application process involves a written test consisting of 25 questions, with a time limit of one hour.

How Do I Take the Test Online?

All counties in Hawaii offer online testing for the learner’s permit. You can take the test at home, provided you follow the instructions. These include having access to a computer, mouse, and webcam. The test can only be taken on a laptop or desktop computer.

You will need to access the online driver’s exam, pay the fee using a credit card, and provide your identification. As you are under 18 years old, an adult over 18 with a current driver’s license must provide their identification and stay with you throughout the test. They must stay out of the webcam’s view, and you must remain on the test screen without interacting with the other person.

Once you pass the test, the next step is to schedule a driving test at a county center. You’ll have 30 days from the date you pass the test to complete the remaining requirements.
