Additionally, networks for other state deparments like the Office of Human Resources and the Department of Consumer Affairs, were down as well.
The DMV went down at 8am, says spokeswoman Jessica Gonzalez. Verizon, which provides the network services for the DMV's operations, says technicians pinpointed the isse to a state-owned piece of network equipment.
For the other sights, "AT&T technicians changed the configuration of a circuit, and the state system didn't adjust to the change, says the spokesperson.
Despite the downtime, the DMV still offered driving tests, and customers could fill out manual forms to be entered later. Many customers decided to set appointments for later in the day or later in the week.
