What else can you say? It's the courthouse for the Ewa area of the island. Somewhat older building,…read morerundown, but provides the basic needs of traffic and criminal cases. Parking lot gets crowded real fast. Filled with state employee & law enforcement vehicles. Go early to ensure you get parking.

Was told I could pay my ticket at any Courthouse. I came with a check, and a copy of my ticket…read more When you first walk in this Pearl City Courthouse after security, there's a divider to indicate a line to stand for cashier help. There's 4 cashiers with 3 listed as "regular cashiers" and then 1 as "Traffic Violations Bureau (TVB) Cashier". I go out of line and ask, if the TVB Cashier is open and she said I have to stand in line even if to pay a TVB ticket. I don't understand why you would leave what looks to be a divided, separate and open line for the "TVB Cashier" only, and if that wasn't the case, have a sign saying there is only one line that handles everything. So I wait in line again. The cashier tells me that my ticket isn't in their system and they have to input it before I can even pay my ticket. My ticket has been in the eKokua system well over two months. They told me to sit and they'll call me up when ready. I waited quite a while. Wasn't until I decided to just stand in line once again did the initial cashier see me and remember my ticket to be paid. I was sent to another cashier, who I asked "the other cashier told me they had to input my ticket because it wasn't in the system, so is it because my ticket was initially Kaneohe court EVEN THOUGH I was told I could pay any Courthouse" and he said "no, it was always in our system". BRAH. They need to improve their organization not only in their cashier office, but their file organization system. Honestly, I should've went to the Kaneohe courthouse instead.

"4" for the long line, but, a "5" for the 3 employees for their patience. I arrived at 10:30am for…read moremy 10:45am appointment to renew my driver license today. Ridiculous to find a long line that snaked out into the stairwell. This long line is for everyone with an appointment and not. This was changed from having 2 separate lines and the genius power to be decided to change to 1 line! An employee with a clipboard would come out to check everyone for their purpose of being in line. Because I had an appointment made with their online Aloha Q, he pulled me out, looked at my application and gave me a number. I then proceeded to the waiting area at 10:44am and, finally, was seen around 11:10am! Although, I brought my birth certificate, 2 proof of residency, eye check certificate from my optometrist so I don't have to get my eyes checked with their icky eyes check machine and current driver license, I was told unless I had changed my address or name, I only needed my current driver license, money to pay the fee and my eyes checked certificate! Oh, if you're already a registered voter, you do not need to re register by completing the application that's attached to the renewal driver license application! What! Grrrrr... Both the employee who took my application, current driver license and the employee who my fingerprints and photo were knowledgeable. pleasant and friendly. Now, I have to wait 6-8 weeks for my permanent driver license to arrive by mail. WOW...what an ordeal! Like having your teeth pulled and happy it was pulled...lol...

I received a notice that my driver's license was going to expire in 6 months, so I went to the…read moreAloha Q website to make an appointment. The closest satellite city hall to me had an appointment available in 4 months, so I opted for Pearlridge which was only a 2 month wait. I arrived at the mall a few minutes early and parked by Ross wanting to walk through the store to get into the mall. However, Ross wasn't open until 9am, so I waited there. When they opened, the worker let everyone know that the inside gate to the mall wouldn't be open because the mall didn't open until 10am. I thought that was strange so I checked my appointment time and verified that it was before 10am. I went to a different entrance and there was a line of people waiting too. Luckily, someone came out of the mall and someone else grabbed the door before it shut and everyone walked in and headed up to the satellite city hall. When I got to the entrance, the worker asked me if I had an appointment. I confirmed it with the info on my phone. Then she asked me if I filled out the paper application and brought it with me. I didn't know about that so she hands me a clipboard and I fill it out before heading up to the window. At least a half dozen other people behind me also did not fill out the application either. Everything else went smoothly and quickly, so yay. I asked the worker at the window how I was supposed to get in if the mall didn't open until 10am. She said I was supposed to go to the door by the monorail on the Macy's side of the mall. After hearing and experiencing all of this, I went back on the Aloha Q website to see how I missed all this information. The appointment before mall hours info was indeed there, but only a short blurb BEFORE you start getting into the appointment process. Also, I didn't go through the entire process to see where they were supposed to tell me to fill out the paper application beforehand. I do believe that the all the necessary information is there, BUT, due to the large amount of people that I saw making the same mistakes that I did, plus some reviews I've read on Yelp after the fact, I think the City needs to think of different ways to get this information across to people. I'm not sure if there was some glitch in the system when I made my appointment, but I received no email confirmation or instructions. Luckily, I had made a screenshot of my appointment date and time so I knew when to go. That, coupled with the fact that my appointment was made 2 months prior, and there was no way I'd remember anything anyways with no email confirmation close to my appointment date. Anyways, TLDR: Special entrance by monorail for appointments before 10am. Fill out your application ahead of time for driver's license renewals. Otherwise, pretty good service.
