Fillable Form CSD-DL Hawaii Driver's License Application

What is the State of Hawaii Driver’s License Application form?

If you intend to become a driver in Hawaii, you will need a Hawaii driver’s license. The first step to obtaining one is to fill out the State of Hawaii Driver’s License Application form.

Before applying for your adult driver’s license, if you are in Honolulu or Kauai Counties, you must have an instructional permit. Other counties do not require that you purchase the permit and all procedures are the same.

There are different types of driver’s licenses in Hawaii. The one you will apply for will depend on your age and the vehicle you are driving.

Types of Driver’s Licenses in Hawaii:

• Moped License (Class 1) — This type of driver’s license allows you to operate mopeds on highways.
• Motorcycle (Class 2) — This type of driver’s license allows you to operate motorcycles.
• Driver’s License (Class 3) — This type of driver’s license is the regular non-commercial driver’s license that allows you to operate any passenger car or single vehicle with a gross vehicle weight rating not exceeding 18,000 pounds and built to carry no more than 15 passengers, including the driver.
• Commercial Driver’s License (CDL / Class A, B, or C) — The class of this driver’s license depends on the type of commercial vehicle you drive. Class A allows you to operate any truck or tractor or trailer that exceeds a gross weight vehicle rating of 26,001 pounds. Class B allows you to operate any single vehicle that has a gross weight vehicle rating of 26,001 pounds. Class C allows you to operate any single vehicle that does not meet the gross weight vehicle rating of Class B but requires passenger or hazardous endorsement.
