If you have recently moved to or are considering moving to Honolulu, there are a number of benefits to establishing residency. A person who establishes residency in Honolulu is eligible to pay Hawaii state taxes, which may be cheaper than the state from which you are moving. Additionally, a person who establishes residency in Honolulu is eligible for in-state tuition rates for state colleges in Hawaii. While there is no set process to establish residency, obtaining certain documents may make the process of demonstrating the intent to establish residency easier.
State of Hawaii Department of Taxation

The State of Hawaii Department of Taxation is responsible for the collection of income tax in Hawaii. Filing state income tax in Hawaii can be used as evidence of your intent to establish residency in Hawaii. An individual wishing to establish residency can file Form N-11, the Individual Income Tax Return for Residents.
State of Hawaii Office of Elections

The State of Hawaii Office of Elections is responsible for administering elections in Hawaii. Registering to vote in Hawaii is persuasive evidence to demonstrate the intent to have Hawaii be your legal residency. As a resident of Honolulu, you can register to vote at the Honolulu City Clerk's Office. After registering to vote in Hawaii, you can write to the State of Hawaii Office of Elections to obtain a copy of your voter registration.
Hawaii Department of Customer Services

The Hawaii Department of Customer Services is the agency in Honolulu responsible for issuing driver's licenses. Under Hawaii law, a Hawaii driver's license may be obtained with a Social Security number and a driver's license issued by another state. While a Hawaii driver's license may be obtained without proof of living at a Hawaii address, the act of surrendering another state's driver's license and obtaining a Hawaii driver's license can be used to establish residency.
Personal Documents

In addition to documents obtained from government agencies in Honolulu, there are other documents that you can use to substantiate a claim of residency in Honolulu. A copy of a lease agreement or mortgage for a property in Honolulu can be used to demonstrate residency. If leasing a property in Honolulu, a written attestation that you are occupying the property for at least 200 days in a calendar year is especially important. A written letter from a Honolulu employer or a written record of a Honolulu-based bank account can also be used to demonstrate residency.
