In Hawaii, you must renew your vehicle registration in the county it\u2019s registered in, and driven. If you have outstanding traffic violations, you need to submit a clearance letter before renewing your tags. For out-of-state vehicles, the last issued registration is needed for transfer to Hawaii tags. You also need the out-of-state title if you\u2019re listed as the lien holder of the vehicle and a bill of landing or shipping receipt for proof of when the vehicle entered Hawaii.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re registering a trailer in Hawaii, you need an MSO or MCO from the manufacturer to validate weight or bring it yourself to a weight station. A printout of the trailer\u2019s manufacturer\u2019s warranty registration is not enough to get your tags. Once you have the weight, you must take it to an inspection station for a temporary safety inspection document. Next, you\u2019ll get a registration and license plate which you need to bring back to the inspection station for a finalized safety check sticker for your trailer.
