| Honolulu | RDX 650 |
JNx and JUx series skipped. NEx series also skipped. Q series skipped.
In early 2006, vehicle owners in Honolulu were told that all E series plates (the lowest on the current base) were to be discarded because the reflectorization was failing due to age. Holders of E series plates were given the option of getting new plates (at the time in the N series) or having new plates made with their existing number. All E series plates now in use should be remakes of the originals still in use by the original registrant. Although not confirmed, it is believed that the F series is being similarly replaced in 2007. Honolulu Police Dept. - HPD1200 2010-05-05 Jim Sadler |

| Hawaii | HMA 086 |
After reaching HZY, Hawaii Co. started over at HAA. HZZ ended up being issued in Honolulu Co. due to a shortage of plates. HBL may have been skipped.
Hawaii Co. is in a reissue program similar to Honolulu, but the sequence is uncertain. Hawaii Co. Fire Dept. - HFD 457 2009-05-05 David R. Wilson |

| Hawaii TRUCK | 487 HDP | The HCx series ended at 999 HCZ. No truck plates in the HDx series were available at the time, so the TRD series was used. The TRE series is being used in Honolulu County. The HDA (and beyond) series is now being issued in Hawaii County. |

| Honolulu TRUCK | 163 TTF | The original truck series for Honolulu was TPA - TPZ. Upon reaching the end of the TPZ series, the issue advanced to the TRE series. Also, the TRD series was alloted to Hawaii County around the same time after they had reached the end of their HCZ series for trucks. It appears that no truck plates in the HDA series had been made yet, but they are now being issued in Hawaii County. Not all of the TRD series plates were issued in Hawaii County. At some point in the issuance of the TRD series in Hawaii County, they received and began issuing the HDA series, so later TRD series plates not issued by Hawaii County were issued by Honolulu County. Meanwhile, back in Honolulu County, it appears that they filled in from the TRA - TRC series, but the TRE series appeared first. Now the issue is back on track in the TS- series. |
