Here’s why you should plan on delays at the DMV for the next month

The following is a news release from the Department of Motor Vehicles.
BOISE — The Idaho Division of Motor Vehicles (DMV) is installing new software that affects systems for driver’s licenses, identification (ID) cards and various permits. As a result, customers will experience longer wait times over the next three to four weeks as staff work to optimize software and security procedures.
The slowdown will happen at ALL county offices, including sites where the software is being implemented during weekends to minimize impacts to the public. DMV planned new system implementation to coincide with the fall timeframe, which typically features the least demand for license and ID cards.
“We ask our customers to have patience as we implement the software,” said DMV Administer Alan Frew. “If your license, ID card or permit is not expiring soon, you may consider waiting until the end of November to renew. Please understand that county employees are working hard to serve customers as quickly as possible.”
