Choose the county office that already has the vehicle record

Hawaii title and registration work runs through county offices. Use the county that issued the current record or will handle the transfer.

What to bring

  • the current Hawaii title or title record details
  • supporting documents for the corrected owner, lien, or vehicle information
  • Hawaii identity or notarization materials when the state requires them
  • payment for Hawaii title-correction processing

Likely next steps

  1. Use Hawaii's title-correction path before relying on the title for sale, transfer, or renewal work.
  2. Collect the current title information and the documents that prove the correction.
  3. Submit the correction first so later title and registration work happens on the right Hawaii record.
