Lockdown to close Oahu DMVs, satellite city halls starting today

The City and County of Honolulu will close driver’s license centers and satellite city halls to in-person visits starting today, to comply with Mayor Kirk Caldwell’s emergency “stay-at-home, work-at-home” order, the Department of Customer Services announced.

All appointments scheduled from today through Sept. 9 will be canceled, coinciding with the initial duration of the mayor’s order, which is intended to curb the spread of COVID-19.

The closure applies to face-to-face service at Oahu’s satellite city halls and driver licensing centers, and includes road tests. Online and mail-in transactions will continue, as described on the department’s website.

“To comply with the orders, there will be no in-person transactions performed at our service centers,” said Sheri Kajiwara, director of the city’s Department of Customer Services. “All city business that can be done via alternate means can continue.”
