Hawaii Dealer Bond Renewal Deadline: June 30

Hawaii auto dealers, it's time to renew your Hawaii dealer license and bond! The renewal deadline is June 30 but to be guaranteed a pocket card by June 30, you should renew your license and bond no later than May 31.

Here's what you need to know about your Hawaii auto dealer bond and license renewal!

Hawaii Dealer License Renewal

All motor vehicle dealer licenses are issued by the Hawaii Department of Commerce and Consumer Affairs (DCCA). Licenses for Motor Vehicle Broker, Motor Vehicle Consumer Consultant, Motor Vehicle Dealer, Motor Vehicle Salesperson, Motor Vehicle Auction and Motor Vehicle Branch Location all run out on June 30, 2018.

To renew your license you must submit a renewal application either online through MyPVL or on paper and submit it to the DCCA.

In addition to submitting your application, you will also need to pay the relevant renewal fee if you are reapplying on time. Check this table supplied by the DCCA to see how much you need to pay.

Keep in mind that the DCCA does not accept late renewals anymore! Anyone who has not reapplied on time will have their license forfeited and will need to reapply as a new applicant!

An important part of your license renewal is your bond renewal! See below!
