Hawaii to Raise Its Driving License Fees

Hawaii will soon join the other states who have raised their Department of Motor Vehicle or DMV fees.   In order to pull motor vehicle driving records or MVRs, a necessity for the trucking and transportation industry as well as for employers who have employees who drive on the job, it will cost more.  Some states have raised the DMV fees by as much as three hundred percent.

Nevertheless,  employers need to conduct motor vehicle  driving records  as background checks on their employees and employment candidates.  MVRs also indicate behavior patterns, substance abuse issues, other indicators that are good to know upfront.  The driving records serves, overall, as an excellent background check.  It has a fast turnaround and, still, it is cost effective.

Anyway,  effective July 1st, 2010 Hawaii  will increase its state fee for  Abstract Driving Records from $10.00 to $23.00 per record.
