Notes
Hawaii does not require a statewide occupational license specifically for welders. The Hawaii Department of Commerce and Consumer Affairs licenses contractors but does not issue a welder-specific license. Welders on certain industrial or government projects may need AWS or ASME certifications as required by employers.
