I was helped at the first desk and given a number, but I missed my number as I was waiting for the folks selling me the car to fill in their part of the form, so my number was recycled and I was called up within 2 numbers again. My application was handled graciously by a really nice lady who kept me informed of what she was doing and was quick and efficient. I was in and out in 10 minutes registering a vehicle which is unheard of in Lahaina which takes about 2 weeks, 4 visits and a lot of confusion and abuse from the staff!! This will be my go to DMV when required in person. Everyone was helpful, friendly and the place was clean and efficient. I was pleasantly surprised.

Returned DMV a third time, paid again for license, but was treated professionally by the staff that day, very polite and helpful.

What a #shitshow Not only do the people that work here have poor customer care but wow!!! It's a full on reject factory! I honestly thought some of these employees were homeless. Just lost for words with respect to how this place is organized, who works here and how the employees speak to people. It's an absolute embarrassment with respect to the Hawaiian government. Again, I've never seen anything like this in my life! I feel like I'm in a third world country immigration line and I'm being interrogated by the mentally challenged!

A never received 1099R for a deceased loved one brought me to the local Social Security office,…read morewithout an appointment. I did have an online account for said person but the website changed and I couldn't recreate a new log in. PARKING: There were 13 on-street, 1-hour parking stalls (which are never unoccupied) fronting the building, or a parking garage with supposedly high rates according to other reviewers. I forced my spouse to do a drop off & pick up! EXPERIENCE: Located on the first floor of One Main Plaza, security will escort you in while asking some safety questions. He then had me check in on the slow-responding kiosk which issued a ticket number, just like the DMV. The small office had an adequate amount of chairs and 8 windows. A TV screen showed called numbers but no chimes or alerts were sounded to get your attention, but the security guard, out of the goodness of his heart, would verbally announce the numbers and which window to go to. I was called in about 30 minutes which I thought was pretty quick judging by the amount of people waiting. The guy who helped me asked for a death certificate, which I had on my phone but I wasn't allowed to email it to them to see or print out. I did have a hard copy POA which he thankfully accepted along with a few security questions. 5 minutes later I had document in-hand! I think he knew my predicament and assisted me fully because he cared. Much appreciated and thank you! OVERALL: If you've had a bad experience here, I'm pretty sure you were partly to blame. Be civil and you'll go far.

I just wish we had got the gentleman's name so I could give him a personal shout out here! We had to visit the DHS to complete the process and he made sure we knew what to ask for, gave us some print outs and forms to take with us, and made sure we knew where we were going. He was empathetic and helpful and it was such a relief as we though it was going to be a hard process after dealing with the Red Cross and FEMA recently in the Lahaina disaster. Easy parallel street parking outside, friendly security guard at the entrance will show you the way, the security guard at Soc Sec welcomes you and shows you the ropes. Sooo easy. Mahalo to everyone at the Soc Sec office for helping us.

I went in to renew a car registration for a friend who is off island with a very sick husband, and they were absolutely awful and totally unhelpful. The DMV employee I was dealing with refused to believe the car belonged to my friend even though I had the actual original car registration certificate in hand. They refused to help me and I had to force myself to try again. However, today I hit gold! In the name of Mylene (angels singing and a halo appearing above her), who was so friendly and helpful and proficient and downright unbelievable for the DMV. She is a godsend to the DMV and I hope they realize it!! While I was waiting for my number to turn up (feeling like I was on the set of Beetlejuice, in the departed waiting room) I heard Mylene help an older man who had recently lost his wife, and a man who lost his house in the Lahaina fires. She was helpful and sympathetic and just a wonderful person to them which was so beautiful to listen to. When it was my turn she was just as helpful and understanding and friendly. Mahalo Mylene, you made my, and several other people's day. I don't think you realize what a breath of fresh air to the Lahaina DMV you are.

Until my road test, the rudest lady came out from behind the counter, and had told me to go wait outside in the front, so I did. As she's coming outside she walks straight to my car without acknowledging me and so I follow her. We get into my car and start the road test. As we get closer to the end of my test (mind you I had 0 wrong in that time being) she had asked me to pullover and as I did she tell ms me, "did you notice what you did wrong". and as I'm looking at her with complete confusion, she had told me I made 6 wrong within making a right turn and driving a minute down the road, and at that point i'm confused as to why I got so many wrong in such little time. So we proceeded back to the DMV. We get back to the DMV and she LITERALLY gets out of my car without talking to me THE DRIVER, about how I did and the 6 things I got WRONG! and as everyone knows if you're underage you need to bring a licensed driver so I brought my mom, and she walks right past her as well and goes straight back into the DMV. Mahalo to everyone else who had hospitality, welcoming greeting, and over all aloha!
