"It's designed to help make county government more accessible and more efficient." -- County of Hawaii Mayor Billy Kenoi (pictured).
For a convenience fee of $2.50, plus 2.25 percent of the registration cost, Hawaii County drivers can now renew their motor vehicle registration online.
Available 24/7 through the state's official website, the registration renewal service is another tool "designed to help make county government more accessible and more efficient," said Mayor Billy Kenoi.
Citizens can access the online system at the website by providing the last four digits of their vehicle identification number (VIN) and their license plate number. Then they simply follow the steps to go through the entire payment process.
"For Hawaii County motor vehicle owners, we've essentially taken a 'waiting in line' service online," said Lee Lord, manager of the Hawaii Vehicle Licensing and Registration Division.

...it is completely unacceptable to charge a convenience fee when the main convenience is to the county. $2.50 plus 2.5 percent the cost of the registration is ridiculous. This system will save countless hours by Hawai'i county employees. The county should be giving discounts to the people who use this system to save their employees time and money. Other states that have had a convenience fee for vehicle registration have eliminated the fee after a short period and they realized how unethical the fee is. Hawai'i should do the same.
