When buying a car from a private seller in Hawaii, you must obtain the original Certificate of Title. The seller must sign the "Seller" section on the title to release their interest in the vehicle. Crucially, the seller must also complete a "Notice of Transfer" form (top portion of the title usually) and mail it to the county DMVL within 10 days. Ensure the seller's name matches the name printed on the front of the title exactly.
In addition to the signed title, you and the seller should complete a Bill of Sale. While not strictly mandatory if the title is filled out completely, it is highly recommended for your protection. The Bill of Sale should include the vehicle's make, model, year, VIN, license plate number, purchase price, date of sale, and signatures of both parties.
Hawaii does not charge a standard sales tax on private party vehicle sales (unlike buying from a dealer). However, you will have to pay a transfer fee (usually around $5-$10) and any outstanding registration fees or weight taxes. Registration fees are based on the vehicle's weight and are paid annually. If the registration is current, you only pay the transfer fee; if it's expired, you must pay the back taxes and late fees.
You must transfer the ownership into your name within 30 days of the purchase date. You will need to go to your local county DMV office (e.g., City and County of Honolulu Satellite City Hall). If you wait longer than 30 days, you will be charged a penalty fee.
To complete the transfer, bring the following:
The original Hawaii title, signed by the seller (and you).
The current vehicle registration certificate (provided by the seller).
A current Hawaii safety inspection certificate.
Proof of Hawaii no-fault insurance in your name.
Your valid driver's license.
Payment for the transfer fee ($5-$10) and any other due fees.
