HRS §286-130

No driving with a foreign license while suspended or revoked

If your driving rights in Hawaii are suspended or revoked, you cannot drive in Hawaii using a license or permit from another state or country. You must wait until Hawaii issues you a new license, if and when the law allows.

The statute, as written — No operation under foreign license during revocation or suspension in this State

Any resident or nonresident whose driver's license or right or privilege to operate a motor vehicle in this State has been suspended or revoked shall not operate a motor vehicle in this State under a license, permit, or registration certificate issued by any other jurisdiction or otherwise during the suspension or after the revocation until a new license issued by the examiner of drivers is obtained when and as permitted by law.
