The Idaho Division of Motor Vehicles has implemented an emergency extension through October 31st for all Gem State drivers with expiring or expired driver’s licenses due to recent DMV office closures.
Idaho Transportation Department DMV Administrator Alberto Gonzalez implemented the emergency extension less than 24 hours after severe vendor software issues forced most DMV county offices that issue driver’s licenses to close their doors. ITD is working closely with its software vendor, sheriffs, and county staff to get services online as quickly as possible, while Governor Butch Otter has called a working group of stakeholders together to move forward with short and long-term fixes.
Exclusions to the emergency extension include Commercial Drivers License holders who do not have a legal presence document on file with Idaho’s DMV, and drivers whose privileges are currently withdrawn until reinstatement requirements are fulfilled. (ITD)
