A June 15, 2021, a Facebook post made an outlandish claim about driver’s license requirements in the state of Hawaii. The post claimed that starting Jan. 1, 2023, the state would no longer accept out-of-state driver’s licenses and would require a test for anyone coming in as a visitor or a new resident. A page called The State of Hawaii, which was not an official government page, was behind the posting. It also criticized bad drivers from other states: There are plenty of reasons to doubt this post's claims, not least of which is the fact that The State of Hawaii Facebook page is classified as an Entertainment Website. But to be sure, we called the county of Hawaii Driver Licensing office. An automated message said, You may drive in the state of Hawaii with a valid driver license issued by another state if you are 18 years of age or older. We also called the Public Affairs Office at the Department of Transportation. A spokesperson there told us this Facebook post is inaccurate and there are no such restrictions forthcoming. We could find no evidence of such a rule on Hawaii’s official government websites and DMV websites. As such we rate this claim as False.
