Questions, answered.
01Do I have to register my car in Hawaii?
Under the Servicemembers Civil Relief Act, servicemembers may keep their legal residence in another state in some cases. Registration and insurance rules still need checking. Confirm with your installation legal office and the Hawaii Insurance Division.
