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.

FAQ
Common questions
Is this the official Maui County liquor card exam app?
No. This is an independent study aid. It is not affiliated with, authorized by, or endorsed by the County of Maui, the Department of Liquor Control, or the State of Hawaii. It is built from public domain Hawaii law to help you prepare.
Does the app work offline?
Yes. Every question, explanation, and flashcard is stored on your device, so you can study with no internet connection after you download the app.
How many practice questions are included?
The app includes more than 870 practice questions and almost 290 flashcards, over 1,150 study items in total, covering every topic the exam draws on.
Is it a one-time purchase?
Yes. You pay once and own the app, with no subscription. If you change devices you can restore your purchase at no extra cost.
Will this app guarantee I pass?
No app can guarantee a pass. It gives you broad, accurate practice on the underlying law, but the official exam, its question count, and its passing score are set by the Department of Liquor Control and may differ from our practice mock.
How long is the Maui liquor card valid once I pass?
Certification cards are valid for four years from the date the exam is passed. After that you must pass the exam again to renew.
Who writes these questions, and how do you check the answers are right?
Every question is written from the official public materials for this exam and cites the source passage it comes from. Before it ships, a second, independent AI model from a different family confirms that the cited passage supports the answer, and a human reviews anything the two models disagree on. You can read the full process at rivermaplearning.com/how-we-build-questions, and the free sample questions above let you judge the quality before you buy.
Is this an official app, or affiliated with the County of Maui Department of Liquor Control?
No. It is an independent study tool, not affiliated with or endorsed by the County of Maui, the Department of Liquor Control or the State of Hawaii. It is built from publicly available official materials (Hawaii Revised Statutes Chapter 281 and the Maui County Rules of the Liquor Commission); the questions are original, and we never copy the real exam's own questions.
If I pass the practice mock, will I pass the real exam?
No study tool can promise that. Our practice mock mirrors the official format and pass mark where the authority publishes one, and clearly labels any practice length or pass mark that is our own rehearsal format rather than an official figure. Use the app alongside the official study materials, not instead of them.
