HRS §286-106.5

Military driver's licenses stay valid after return from overseas

If you are in the U.S. military or a dependent who went with you, and your Hawaii driver's license expired while you were deployed outside the U.S., your license stays valid for 90 days after you come back to the U.S. This gives you time to renew it.

The statute, as written — Expiration of licenses; out-of-country active duty military personnel and dependents

Notwithstanding section 286-106, the expired driver's license of a member of any component of the United States armed forces who is on active federal service, or the member's dependent if the dependent accompanied the member, and whose driver's license expired while the member was deployed outside the United States, shall remain valid for ninety days after the service member's return to the United States.
