"National DMV System Outage Disrupts License and ID Transactions Across the U.S."
A nationwide outage disrupted DMV services across the United States due to a loss in cloud connectivity, halting license-related transactions for several hours. The American Association of Motor Vehicle Administrators reported that the outage affected the network connecting motor vehicle agencies and verification services, preventing the issuance of driver licenses and vehicle titles. While connectivity was restored to most states, DMV offices issued warnings and asked individuals to reschedule appointments. The outage did not affect driver's license knowledge tests, permit tests, or requests for motor vehicle records.
