Tips for Kapolei Buyers and Sellers
- The Kapolei Satellite City Hall DMV is one of the least congested on Oahu — schedule title transfer there rather than at the Honolulu main office.
- Military sellers should ensure no DoD liens exist and that the vehicle is free of any SCRA-related encumbrances before listing.
- A casual private-party sale is generally GET-exempt in Hawaii (HAR §18-237-1); bring a cashier's check for the $10 title transfer fee and registration at the DMV kiosk.

- Document the odometer reading precisely on the bill of sale; it must match the title's odometer disclosure section.
