Hawaiian Woman With Long Name Finally Gets Her Driving Licence


A Hawaiian woman whose last name is 36 characters long has finally gotten the whole thing to fit on her driver's license and state identification card. Janice Lokelani Keihanaikukauakahihuliheekahaunaele has a surname that consists of 35 letters plus an okina, a mark used in the Hawaiian alphabet.

She received her new license and ID after her campaign to get her full name on the cards prompted the state Department of Transportation to change its policy to expand the number of characters that can appear.
