Kauai's Kapaa DMV office is getting back to normal, which is good news for residents who struggled to get appointments after a fire shut things down.

• The Kapaa DMV office closed after a fire there nearly two months ago.
• The county has now expanded operations and launched a new booking calendar.
• Residents can book appointments up to a month in advance, instead of scrambling for last-minute slots.
• Dozens of new appointment slots are opening up as the system expands.

Outlook: Appointment availability should keep improving as the county fully restores DMV services in Kapaa.
