TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) Kansas won’t be able to issue driver’s licenses or non-driver identification cards for at least several hours because of a computer problem.
The state Division of Vehicles said Tuesday that a problem with a vendor’s server took down the computer system issuing licenses and ID cards at all 111 offices statewide. The division said the vendor expected to replace a part in its server by mid-afternoon.
The division is in the midst of a $40 million upgrade of its computers.
About 3,000 people visit driver’s license offices each Tuesday, which is typically a busy day because the offices are closed Monday.
Division Director Donna Shelite said the agency recognizes that the computer problem is inconveniencing Kansans and is working to get it fixed as quickly as possible.
