North Carolina DMV stops transactions due to computer issues

CHARLOTTE — If you had business with the North Carolina Division of Motor Vehicles on Thursday, you might have had to reschedule.

The NCDMV said on Thursday that a computer connection issue affected transactions at all of the state’s 112 driver’s license offices.

The issue also affected self-service kiosks, license plate agencies, and online services.

According to NCDMV, they started having issues with connecting to the mainframe computer. It stemmed from issues with the North Carolina Department of Information Technology’s mainframe.

As of 3:15 p.m., NCDMV’s connection to the NCDIT mainframe was restored, and so it could resume processing transactions in-person, online and at its self-service kiosks.

NCDIT will continue to monitor its systems.
