Drivers license offices will temporarily close in order to install a new license system, according to a recent announcement by Gov. Kay Ivey.
The Alabama Law Enforcement Agency Driver License System or LEADS will reportedly provide "significant improvements" to citizens and Driver License personnel in the state.
“This new system will consolidate multiple legacy systems into one integrated, modern system to further protect our citizens’ data and enhance customer service,” said Ivey. “I am proud of ALEA’s dedication to complete this crucial and extensive task to positively impact all citizens.”
Services that the system will provide include but are not limited to:
- Ability to update their addresses
- Ability to pay and reinstate their licenses
- Ability to upload U.S. Department of Transportation (USDOT) Medical Cards
- Ability to view Transportation Security Administration’s (TSA) Hazmat background checks
- Ability to issue duplicate licenses to eligible foreign nationals
- Ability to pre-apply for individuals who are requesting an Alabama License for the first time
In order to implement the new system drivers license offices will close on April 18 and are slated to reopen on April 26.
