New Jersey Motor Vehicle Commission Computers Go Down Again

It's not clear when the computer system will be restored

The computer system at the New Jersey Motor Vehicle Comission was brought down for hours Saturday and Monday. Jen Maxfield reports.

What to Know

  • Agency officials say the problems reported Monday are a "residual effect" of a statewide server error that caused the initial outage
  • It means the MVC computer system cannot process transaction online or in its offices across the state
  • Service was restored shortly before 1 p.m.; it had been out since 8 a.m.

The New Jersey Motor Vehicle Commission's computers are out of service for the second time this month.

Agency officials say the problems reported Monday are a "residual effect" of a statewide server error that caused the initial outage. It means the MVC computer system cannot process transaction online or in its offices across the state.

Service was restored shortly before 1 p.m.; it had been out since 8 a.m.

Further details on what caused the server problems have not been disclosed.

The MVC has suffered computer problems before: the agency's 39 offices across the Garden State were hampered by similar issues in 2016.  Also that year, an I-Team investigation chronicled massive headaches for drivers.
