All driver services facilities in Illinois and nationwide were affected by a “network outage” Thursday, the Illinois Secretary of State's office announced.
Illinois Secretary of State Alexi Giannoulias said all facilities “across the country” were down in a post on X, formerly known as Twitter.
"We are currently experiencing a nationwide network outage at our DMV facilities," Giannoulias wrote in the post.
⚠ ADVISORY: We are currently experiencing a nationwide network outage at our DMV facilities. All DMVs across the country are currently down.

Hours and services may be affected by the outage, so the Secretary of State’s office is urging people to call (800) 252-8980 before going to a driver services center.
The Secretary of State’s Office didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment.
