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 visited with a 71 year old friend with Parkinsons who hadn't signed up for Part B. It was such…read morean easy process for us to go in, sign up digitally (the security guard will assist you), we only sat for a few minutes and were talking to a really helpful agent who went out of his way to help us. 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.

The 4-story building at the corner of High & Main houses several different state offices (see my 2…read morepics of the directory.) The two most frequented departments are the Labor & Industrial Relations and Tax Office. PARKING: The metered parking lot is small and rates are only 25-cents for 30 minutes which is dirt cheap! There is a very limited amount of free but timed street parking. ACCESS: The parking lot provides access to the first level. The main entry off High St brings you direct to the second level. There is an elevator but because the building looks so old, I used the stairs just for sanity's sake and a little exercise. I had some business to do at the tax office and received prompt and friendly service.

Beach territory on Maui's Southwest shores…read more I honestly cannot remember any distinguishing feature about Kihei as I can about Lahaina. Kihei has more residential and commercial areas and better beaches. We stayed in Kihei at the WorldMark Resort and it was only a few minutes walk to one of the three Kamaole beaches across the street. I like that it's not very far from Wailea and Makena and a shorter distance to traveling the famous Road to Hana. I dunno, for some reason we found ourselves returning back to our resort early every day... like 7:00p or around 8:00p at the latest which is why we found ourselves returning to Lahaina often just to hang around and eat, window shop... eat (again). Nightlife seems to be more fun there. Plus the first Ululani Shave Ice is in Lahaina located in an open-air stand, set back from the street a few steps in a courtyard, at 790 Front Street. This was our first trip to Maui and now that we've done most of the touristy things if there is another chance we return to the Valley Isle I'd prefer to stay in Lahaina. Kihei is the sunniest, driest end of the island and a little rain can mean intense flooding... during our stay in Kihei it did just that! Locals we've talked to said it's not often they get heavy rains on this part of the island but the isolated downpour on 9/9/22 was too much for Kihei resulting in flooded roads and causing closures. I was super bummed about this because we were supposed to drive up to Haleakalā National Park to watch the sunset and see the full moon. Kihei is in southwest Maui, about 25 minutes from Kahului Airport Kīhei (OGG) Review #2737

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!!
