The BMV experienced problems, which began sporadically last week after the agency moved its Business Applications Service System to newer hardware, spokeswoman Lindsey Bohrer said.
The issue, which affected computer printers, impacted offices statewide on Tuesday, causing slower transaction times
Drivers who went to deputy registrars’ offices to get their tags, registration and licenses left empty-handed, according to a report on WBNS 10-TV.
The state offered drivers a 14-day grace period for drivers to drive with an expired tag or expired license until the computer problem is fixed.
The state’s system fell victim to computer problems in August, as well as in 2014 and 2016.
