The exam
What the Maui liquor card exam involves
The Maui County liquor card exam, officially the Liquor Laws and Rules certification exam, is run by the County of Maui Department of Liquor Control. A managerial or supervisory employee, or the holder of the license, who seeks the Employee Approved by the Director certification card must pass it, and an approved employee must be in active charge of the premises at all times it is open for business.
What does the Maui liquor card exam cover?
The exam tests the liquor laws and rules that apply to licensed premises in Maui County, drawn from three open-law sources.
- Hawaii Revised Statutes Chapter 281: the state Intoxicating Liquor law, including definitions, license classes, prohibited acts, sales to minors, and penalties.
- Maui Rules of the Liquor Commission, Chapter 101: license types and conditions, hours of sale, drink preparation, conduct on premises, regulation of the premises, and employee registration.
- Maui Rules of the Liquor Commission, Chapter 102: the commission's information, procedures, complaints, and the liquor control adjudication board.
Who has to take the Maui liquor card exam?
To be an approved employee in Maui County you must be 21 years of age or older, pass the Department's Liquor Laws and Rules exam, and obtain the Employee Approved by the Director certification card.
How many questions are on the exam and how long does it take?
The Department does not publish the official number of questions or a hard time limit; it advises allowing about one hour to complete the online exam. Our practice mock uses 50 questions so you can rehearse a full sitting, and times you over 60 minutes.
What score do you need to pass?
Maui County does not publish an official passing score. Our practice mock is scored at 70 percent, so you must answer 35 of 50 correctly, a sensible target that mirrors comparable county liquor card exams. Treat it as practice, not the official cut score.
How long is the Maui liquor card valid?
Certification cards are valid for four years from the date the exam is passed. After that you must pass the exam again to renew.
How do you register for the Maui liquor card exam?
Registration is by email. You email the Department of Liquor Control at liquor.cert.exam@mauicounty.gov, and the Department then sends you a link from the eSkill assessment platform to take the exam online.
What do you need on exam day and to collect the card?
You take the exam online through the eSkill assessment platform and need a valid, unexpired, unaltered government-issued photo ID. If you pass, your results email explains how to obtain the card.
- Photo ID: the same valid government-issued photo ID used for the exam.
- Card fee: 20 dollars, payable by cash, check, Visa, or MasterCard.
- In person: collect the card at the Department of Liquor Control, Kahului Service Center, where a photo is taken and the card is issued during your visit.
