Department of Motor Vehicles facilities across the country reported outages on Thursday, impacting appointments and services in multiple states, officials said.
Illinois secretary of state Alexander Giannoulias wrote in a post on X, formerly Twitter, that they are "currently experiencing a nationwide network outage at our DMV facilities," adding: "All DMVs across the country are currently down."
In a press release, Colorado's DMV said it was reaching out to impacted state residents who have appointments at a State Driver License Office to reschedule "due to a national outage with the American Association of Motor Vehicle Administrators."
"Most driver license services, including online options, are affected, except driver license knowledge tests, endorsement tests and Commercial Driver’s License instruction permit tests, as well as scheduling hearings and requesting motor vehicle records," Colorado DMV wrote in a statement. "There currently is no timeline for when services will be restored."
Virginia's DMV said that "driver's license services are currently unavailable online and at all in-person locations," blaming a "third-party technical outage," while Massachusetts' Registry of Motor Vehicles said it "cannot process any license or ID related transactions at this time due to a national system outage."
It's unclear what caused the outage or when it will be resolved. Spectrum News has reached out to the AAMVA for comment.

> And suddenly there are 10 million new registered voters.
Bingo. System upgrade.
Colorado probably mailing out drivers licenses and ballots to every address.
FRland never disappoints.
Although this is likely a cyber attack psyop, it is exposing the interweb nature of DMV’s, just like Nov 2020 exposed the interweb nature of voting.
Enjoyed hearing the lighter side of DMVs being Out of Service - operating normally, or even faster than normal. Illegals hit hardest.
I’m sure all the IDs are being linked nationally. That system probably crashed.
Motor voter system went haywire?
Do they use Microsoft’s AI ? LOL
“Huh. Cyber attack. Guess what info is stored along with your license.”
Yep.
L
Sooooo...10 fewer people were served at the DMV than yesterday.
Let’s go past that. Disaster Recovery Planning. Tennant 1; Contingency planning. How are you going to do business when your computer systems fail? Are you going to use manual processes and, if so, how do you plan to trap the data you need for entry after systems recovery. These are government agencies. This is a basic part of Risk Management Strategies.
They’re all pikers. I’m giving odds - any takers.
Time for our Government Agencies to update their securirty software.
Of if they’re too broke to protect themselves and the citizens of their states by updating, they need to demand a stop to sending money to Ukraine and demand it be used here in the United States instead. And yeah, we don’t care how many ‘hunter biden’ types are being paid off to keep the money flowing to Ukraine.,..
Funny how they don’t mention that. I’m sure it’s just an oversight.
“All using the same software?”
worse: probably everyone using some kind of cloud service; the only local software needed would be a web browser ...
No, no they’re not. I’m sure the online system will come roaring back to life after this “outage” with all new categories of DL acceptance docs, which include as a reference the first names of the coyote who ushered the illegals into this country
Cuz it’s the “humanitarian” thing to do, doncha know 😉
