A. REQUEST:
We are seeking approval to initiate a Memorandum of Agreement with the State of Hawaii, Department of
Corrections & Rehabilitation, with the objective of facilitating the issuance and production of REAL ID -
compliant State Civil Identification cards for offenders before their release from prison.
B. BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION (USE ADDITIONAL SHEETS AS NEEDED):
This Memorandum of Agreement establishes a collaborative framework between the Department of
Corrections & Rehabilitation (DCR) and the Department of Finance, Vehicle Registration & Licensing
Division (VRL) aiming to streamline the issuance and production of State Civil Identification cards for
individuals transitioning through the re-entry phase of their rehabilitation process.
Possessing a State Civil Identification card upon release will afford these individuals the opportunity to utilize
this credential for securing employment, housing, medical assistance, and various other essential services.
VRL personnel will not directly interact with offenders; instead, all interactions will occur exclusively between
authorized DCR personnel. DCR staff will be responsible for collecting all necessary documents and fees,
which will then be presented to authorized VRL staff for processing.
VRL and DCR will both have access to remote -control capabilities on the equipment, enabling VRL staff to
observe the processing of offenders conducted by DCR personnel.
This Agreement entails no associated costs.
