Database Conversion Scheduled to Begin April 25
MONTGOMERY-In an effort to comply with federal regulations, the Alabama Department of Public Safety’s
Driver License Division has scheduled a database conversion the last weekend of April, which
will result in all systems – including online services – being shut down from 5 p.m. Friday,
April 25, to 8 a.m. Wednesday, April 30.
During that time, Driver License examining offices across the state will be unable to issue, renew
or reinstate driver licenses and non-driver identification cards. In addition, access to motor
vehicle records (MVRs) and Alabama Uniform Crash Reports will be offline. This temporary
system shutdown also will affect probate offices, license commissioners’ offices and other
agencies and businesses that involve Alabama driver license transactions or reviews.
To lessen the impact on the public, this particular weekend was selected as April 28 is a state
holiday, and state offices already will be closed.
Normal service is expected to resume at 8 a.m. April 30.
