Customers with expired learner’s permits may now schedule road tests following an update to the Division of Motor Vehicles system.
The DMV database has been updated to extend qualifying permits through Nov. 21, allowing affected customers to proceed with scheduling their road tests, according to a news release from Kaua‘i County.
Under Gov. Josh Green’s Sept. 22 supplemental emergency proclamation, residents who were unable to renew an otherwise valid driver’s license, learner’s permit, or state ID due to the DMV closure are granted additional time to renew without penalty. This relief remains in effect through Nov. 21, unless extended by the Governor.
The extension does not apply to licenses or permits that are suspended, revoked, or otherwise invalid.
Customers who were previously unable to schedule a road test because their learner’s permit showed as expired may now return to the online appointment system to book their road test.
Commercial driver’s licenses (CDLs) and commercial learner’s permits (CLPs) are covered under a separate federal waiver, which extends qualifying credentials through 11:59 p.m. on Dec. 8, or 14 days after DMV services are restored on Kauaʻi, whichever comes first.
For more information, contact the Division of Motor Vehicles at 808-241-4242 or kauaidmv@kauai.gov, or visit www.kauai.gov/DMV.
