As in every other state in the Union, the minimum age to buy alcohol in Hawaii is 21. Hawaii, like other mainland states, is a zero-tolerance state. This means that if a minor is caught driving with any amount of alcohol in their system, they will receive an automatic DUI, regardless of the state`s blood alcohol limit for adults 21 and older.

Such minors may work during any period during which they are not legally obliged to attend school or if they are exempted from doing so by the school authorities.

If a minor is hired with an NC-3, they must report to work with the NC-3 form and an approved “proof of age.” At the time of recruitment, the employer must verify that the information on the age certificate matches the information in the “proof of age” document. The age certificate must be noted in the new employee`s files, and the age certificate and proof of age must be returned to the minor employee. The minor may use the same CL-3 until the age of 18. Working time restrictions limit the number of hours a minor can work per day and week.
