We move people with end-to-end solutions
Updater is an invite-only moving app that is powered by cutting-edge technology.
Moving somewhere in Hawaii? Before you cruise around the new neighborhood, add updating the Hawaii DMV change of address form to your moving to-do list. In some states, you have less than 30 days to update your driving records and/or vehicle registration with the Department of Motor Vehicle (DMV), so now’s the time to act!
But don’t worry — we’ve got your back. We’ve compiled everything you need to know about updating your driving records with your new residential or mailing address. You’ll be able to head out with the car keys from the day you officially call Hawaii home.
