Vehicles must be registered within 30 days of arrival on island NOT 30 days after pick up from the lot.  

Vehicle Registration for base

All privately owned vehicles operating on any MCBH installations, housing sites, or training areas must be registered at the base pass house.  Service members are required to present these items at time of registration:
. Certificate of Ownership
. Proof of current registration or Hawaii State Registration
. proof of Hawaii No-Fault insurance
. Hawaii State Vehicle Safety Inspection Certificate (yellow copy)
. DF-L-50 (Non-resident Certificate)
. a valid driver's license
. valid Military ID Card


No-fault Insurance

Before arriving on island, consult your current insurance company about Hawaii no-fault insurance.  If possible, obtain a valid Hawaii no-fault insurance card showing policy number and expiration date prior to or upon arriving on island.  Failure to show proof of insurance is an automatic fine of $1000.00.  


Vehicle Safety Inspection

A Hawaii state vehicle safety inspection is required prior to registering a vehicle.  Any authorized vehicle service station displaying the "Official Vehicle Safety Inspection Station" sign can conduct the inspection.  

All privately owned vehicles, regardless of state of registration, must display a valid state of Hawaii inspection sticker.  Also, the mechanical conditions and equipment present must meet, and continue to meet, the requirements for state inspection.


Overseas Car Sales

Overseas Car Sales customers beware!  When registering your brand new overseas car sales vehicle with the State of Hawaii's Motor Vehicle Department, you'll be paying a "Used Car Tax" fee of $1,250.00.  


LEASED CARS

To obtain a base decal for a LEASED CAR, the lease agreement must have the service member's name and the car VIN on it and a copy of the lease agreement.

Persons younger than 18 years old, including military personnel, may not operate a privately owned motor vehicle in the State of Hawaii, on or off base, unless licensed by the State of Hawaii.
