Honolulu officials are telling Oahu residents to renew their driver's licenses and state IDs early, which is a heads-up mainly for anyone with a renewal coming due soon.

• Appointment demand is very high, with over 7,100 renewals expected per month in the weeks ahead.
• Some locations now offer Saturday appointments, with new slots released the Wednesday before at 4:15pm.
• Extra appointments are also being added at the Kapalama, Kapolei, Koolau, and Wahiawa licensing centers.
• New physical cards can take up to five weeks to arrive by mail, and temporary IDs issued in the meantime have limits on what they can be used for.

Outlook: Residents should book renewal appointments as early as possible, up to six months ahead, to avoid delays.
