Louisiana State Police Have Indicated that OMV Locations will Remain Closed Wednesday Morning

Published November 19, 2019

From Louisiana State Police – Statewide Motor Vehicle offices will remain closed on Wednesday morning, November 20, 2019 for ongoing network restoration. As electronic services are restored and tested for full operational capabilities, afternoon office openings will be evaluated and announced to the public.

An earlier statement was released that indicated the offices would open at noon Tuesday, November 19. That statement, as well as further infomation about the issue can be found below.

As officials with the Louisiana Office of Motor Vehicles and the Office of Technology Services continue to restore network and online services, OMV Commissioner Karen St. Germain has ordered all office locations to delay opening until noon today. The delayed opening will allow OMV employees and OTS representatives ample time to ensure that all public systems are operational and ready for full service. While many systems are back online, the public is asked to refrain from non-critical OMV tasks today as technicians continue to restore full service.

Throughout the event, OTS technicians and OMV staff have worked continuously to restore public services as quickly and thoroughly as possible. As network systems are restored throughout the morning, citizens are asked to exercise patience and if possible delay personal OMV business until later this week.

The entire Department of Public Safety remains committed to ensure public safety and service to the citizens of Louisiana remains a top priority.
