Secretary of State Jesse White is announcing that driver’s services facilities will be closed for a few weeks because of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.
Secretary of State spokesperson Henry Haupt says facilities statewide will be closed from January 3rd through the 17th out of concern over the rising number of new infections.
“It is our intent to reopen all departments and facilities for in-person transactions on Tuesday, January 18th. It’s important to underscore and highlight that online transactions remain open,”
Haupt says there is no reason to worry about expired licenses and ID cards.
It is important to emphasize that Secretary White has extended expirations for driver’s licenses and ID cards through March 31st, 2022 so everyone’s driver’s license or ID card will remain valid even if it is expired on its face.”
Haupt says you can do things like renew your license plate sticker, get a duplicate license or ID card and some can renew their driver’s licenses online.
