Some license centers to be closed Saturday
HARRISBURG — Some driver’s license services will not be available at state Department of Transportation driver’s license centers on Saturday because of a scheduled upgrade of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration’s Problem Driver Pointer System, or PDPS.
PennDOT said the federal government requires states to use the system to determine if applicants have outstanding driver sanctions in other states.
All outstanding sanctions must be reconciled before individuals can obtain a driver’s license or learner’s permit in another state.
The following services will not be available at the centers on Saturday: Initial issuance of learner’s permits and driver’s licenses; extensions/replacements of learner’s permits; driver’s license replacements (duplicates); commercial driver’s license renewals; and out-of-state driver’s license transfers.

for further data on any other services being curtailed.
