It does seem a bit odd though that they don't let you use your Hawaii drivers license as identification for your state ID but they don't. I found it very strange that I had to produce my marriage license in order to get my Hawaii State ID, but they require that if you are married. I suppose I could have said I wasn't married but you really don't want to lie on these applications. I used my utility bill to prove residency (the fact that the title to my home is in my name wasn't considered evidence of residency since maybe I don't live there). So I do have both a Hawaii State ID and a Hawaii Drivers License. Maybe the reason some people think you can't have both is they tried to use their drivers license as ID for their state ID and were told they couldn't do it. Anyway, my birth certificate, marriage license, passport and utility bill did the trick for me.
Except I know a person (cyclist) that wanted a state ID card and was refused because he had a valid Hawaii drivers license. So one of you slipped through the cracks of our Hawaii system.
