Title Transfer - Non Honolulu Title

How to Transfer Vehicle Ownership of Vehicle Titled in Different State or County

If your vehicle's Title is from another State or another Hawaii County, you must record the ownership transfer in the City and County of Honolulu and obtain a City and County of Honolulu Certificate of Title. In order to accomplish this follow these instructions:

  • Complete and sign the Application For Registration, form CS-L(MVR)-1. If you want the vehicle to be registered in two names both individuals must sign.
  • Submit the last issued Certificate of Registration that was issued by the other State or County;
  • Submit the properly endorsed Out-of-State or other County Certificate of Title.  If the Certificate of Title is not released by the recorded owner(s), a notarized bill of sale from the seller to you must accompany the Certificate of Title.  If a lienholder is indicated on the Certificate of Title and the lienholder has not released their interest on the Certificate of Title, a lien satisfaction letter or the original canceled contract with stamped "PAID IN FULL" must accompany the Certificate of Title to remove the lienholder;
  • Complete and submit a current Hawaii Vehicle Inspection Certificate;
  • If the title is being transferred is from another State, submit a bill of lading (shipping receipt) showing the vehicle's state of entry in Honolulu.  The bill of lading is not required if the vehicle has a current Out-Of-State Vehicle Permit.  The bill of lading is not required if you are recording a transfer with another Hawaii county's Certificate of Title;
  • If you are a non-resident active duty member of the armed forces, submit a properly completed Non-Resident Certificate, Form CS-L(MVR) 50.  Form CS-L(MVR) 50 is available from your armed forces personnel department or your military unit.
