DMV starting Feb. 7
LĪHU‘E – Starting Monday, Feb. 7, the Polynesian Voyaging Society (PVS) specialty license plates
will be available for purchase at the County of Kaua‘i Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV).
The specialty plates will cost $36, of which $20 will be donated to PVS to support the
organization. The remaining costs include $10 toward the purchase of the plate, $1 for a new emblem,
and $5 for processing.
To purchase a PVS specialty license plate, please follow the below instructions.
1. Complete these two applications: “Organizational License Plate Application” and
“Application for Replacement License Plates and/or Emblem.” To access these forms
online, visit www.kauai.gov/DMV. Under “Vehicle Services,” click on “Replacement
Plates, Emblem and Registration” and “Personalized/Organizational License Plates.”
2. Bring in your current vehicle registration and vehicle plates.
3. Pay the applicable fees via cash, check, or credit/debit card.
In order to receive a PVS specialty license plate, the vehicle safety check must be current. If the
vehicle registration is expired or will expire within 45 days of the processing period, renewal fees must
be paid prior to receiving your license plate. Additionally, if you are replacing your electric vehicle plates,
you will still be required to pay the electric vehicle surcharge.
The DMV is open Monday through Friday, except holidays, to all customers from 8:45 a.m. to 4
