HRS §454F-8.5
Reinstating an expired license
This section explains how to bring back a license that expired because you missed renewal requirements. You must apply in the first two months of the next year, finish that year's required classes in that same window, and pay all fees. If you miss this, you must apply for a new license under current rules.
