Nationwide DMV Outage Disrupts License and Title Services

A loss in cloud connectivity caused a temporary halt in driver's license and vehicle title transactions, affecting DMVs across the country.

A nationwide technology outage affected driver's license and vehicle title transactions at DMV offices across the U.S.
The outage, lasting from 9:50 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. EDT, was due to a loss in cloud connectivity.
The American Association of Motor Vehicle Administrators is investigating the cause of the outage and working with cloud providers.
Most driver's license services, including online options, were disrupted, but knowledge tests, permit tests, and requests for motor vehicle records remained available.
Several states, including Illinois, Colorado, and Massachusetts, advised residents to reschedule appointments or call ahead before visiting DMV offices.
