Windward Oahu drivers get a faster way to renew their vehicle registration, a small but real convenience win for people who hate waiting at the DMV.

• The city put a self-service DMV kiosk inside the Foodland at Kailua Town Center on Kailua Road.
• Drivers can renew vehicle registration there instead of driving to a satellite city hall.
• It puts a government service inside a grocery store people already visit, cutting out a separate trip.
• Windward residents have had limited nearby options for registration renewals until now.

Outlook: If the kiosk gets steady use, expect the city to look at putting more of them in busy shopping centers.
