From which department do you receive your license after passing the exam?

The correct answer reflects that individuals wishing to obtain a massage license in Hawaii receive it from the Department of Commerce and Consumer Affairs (DCCA). This department is responsible for regulating various professions and industries, including massage therapy. The DCCA ensures that individuals meet the necessary educational and training requirements, and it oversees the licensing process after candidates successfully pass the required examination.

The licensing process through the DCCA not only involves passing the exam but also requires submitting necessary documentation, such as proof of education and training, to ensure all practitioners meet state standards for providing safe and effective massage services. The DCCA also handles other consumer protection functions, making it the appropriate agency for regulating massage therapists.
