I have never renewed a license without a permanent resident
If you have real estate, you should also bring the documents (utilities, cell phone, internet bill, bank statement, etc.) to prove that you live there.

Are you renewing your driver's license on a Visa or are you temporarily entering the country on ESTA ？

If the former, you will also need documents related to your status of stay. Other required documents can be found below. This is a starred ID.
The validity of the license will be adjusted to the expiration date of your stay.

On the other hand, Hawaii has （ at least as of November 2019, a ） Limited Purpose Driver 's License.
This can be obtained without residency-related status or social security number.

One point, I'm afraid I'm a bit of a leap of faith. I am afraid I am remembering this, but it is my case.
A few years ago, I was unable to renew my regular Hawaii license because I had no documents to submit while my residency papers were being reviewed by the USCIS.
So I asked about switching to Limited Purpose and I remember being told that I could not （ This is just my memory, sorry ） .
If you are going to switch from Starred to Limited Purpose, it would be a good idea to check with DMV beforehand.

As an addendum, the license validity for drivers between the ages of 72 and 79 is
4 years （ 2 years ） for conditions that impair driving.

I will be staying in East, a 4 year renewal would be helpful. I booked it myself and came up with 4 required documents, but I will bring utilities and others. As for the documents, it was very complicated if you don't have a social security card. I also needed my US cell phone number when I made the reservation. （ I don't have one ）
Thank you very much for your detailed reply. Thank you very much.

If Zara has a printer, it would be a good idea to also print out and bring the Limited Purpose Driver's License information above.
I believe the cell phone number was used to send a text message from the reservation system. In any case, I think it is a good idea to bring as much documentation as you can with you, as I don't think you will be bothered to have any documents that might serve as proof of residence. I hope your renewal will be successful.

Just recently someone I know received a non-starred license for 8 years as a transfer from a Japanese license. He entered on an esta, owns real estate in Hawaii, and submitted the following documents: Japanese driver's license, driver's license background check (in Japanese and English, not sure of the name) to the consulate, I-94, electric bill, and a bank statement that was mailed to him.
I was surprised that someone who can only stay in Esta for 90 days can get a license valid for 8 years, while I, an E visa holder, can only get a license valid until the expiration of the stay permit on my I-94. The immigration lawyer told me that I could enter the U.S. and leave for even one day to a foreign country other than Canada before the 90th day and return again, and that there is no limit, so I could repeat that during the year ！. This was also a surprise.

I went there. I had collected various papers and brought them with me, but I had to go to the main office and ask for the Social Security number, because they don't have it here. I went to the main office and called them and they told me that it was no problem even if I didn't have a social security card. I will go to the main office in Waianae this week to make an appointment.
Thank you very much for your detailed information. I feel relieved.

Zara, thank you for the addendum.

I am glad to hear that you were not able to renew this time, but it seems possible before you return home at the main office. Waianae, it is a bit far, but please go there to enjoy the scenery.

I think there are some cases that cannot be done if it is a satellite office, so
you may have to call before you go there to confirm if it is a special case.
I think it will be helpful for those who will try next time.

I went to Wai'anae yesterday and was able to get an appointment right away and renew my driver's license without the star
It was valid for 4 years, all I needed was my passport and Hawaii license, everyone was very unfriendly and I had a bad experience, if you have the star you have to go to the social security office and go through the process to get it replaced. I am glad I was able to renew before it expired, the west is unique, there were homeless people all along the overseas.

I am glad to hear that you were able to renew your license successfully.

I would say that Waianae has its own culture, or it may be cold if you are new to someone from somewhere else. Maybe I got a sense of that. I think there are many people who are nice once you get to know them. Also, I think the homeless camps reflect the current situation in Hawaii.
Some people come here to be homeless on a one-way ticket from the mainland, others are homeless because they don't have a job locally, etc.
I think the circumstances are different.
