If for some reason you are leaving Hawaii for a little while—wait, what? Why are you leaving? Where are you going? We were just starting to get along, and pay taxes together!

But supposing you have a good reason, can you request a free extension before your license expires? Well, maybe, under certain circumstances. For this type of thing you’re better off going right to the DOT and asking them, though.

But seriously, we think you should stay put. It’s nice here. Have you seen the volcanoes? There are volcanoes. Do you surf? You should surf.
