The City and County of Honolulu has opened a new DMV self-service kiosk at the Foodland in Kailua Town Center, expanding access to vehicle registration services on Oahu, according to a government press release. The machine allows motorists to renew eligible vehicle registrations and receive their documents immediately without visiting a staffed DMV office. The Kailua location is the 11th DMV kiosk operating on Oahu.

The kiosk gives residents access to registration services during the supermarket's operating hours, including evenings and weekends. Honolulu has increasingly used self-service technology to shift routine transactions away from DMV counters and provide residents with more convenient service options. The city reported that customers completed 195,630 vehicle registration transactions through its DMV kiosks in 2025.
