Problems Continue To Plague Drivers License Agencies

Kansas is unable to issue new driver’s
licenses or non-driver identification cards because of a computer
problem.
The state Division of Vehicles said Tuesday that a problem with
a vendor’s server took down the license-issuing system at all 111
offices statewide. Spokeswoman Jeannine Koranda said offices still
wouldn’t be able to issue licenses or IDs when they opened
Wednesday.
The division is in the midst of a $40 million computer upgrade.
Koranda said the problem is with part of the system being replaced.
In the meantime, the offices are issuing paper slips extending
licenses or ID cards for 15 days.
About 3,000 people visit driver’s license offices each Tuesday.
It’s typically a busy day because the offices are closed Monday.
