Limited Services at Frazer Driver's License Center Saturday

A national system upgrade will cause some services to be suspended for the day.

PennDOT will undergo a systems upgrade this weekend in compliance with National Highway Traffic Safety Administration regulations.

As a result, the Driver's License Center in Frazer will be offering limited services. According to a PennDOT press release, the following services will not be available on Saturday, March 26:

  • 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
  • Out-of-state driver’s license transfers

The down time will occur while the NHTSA updates the Problem Driver Pointer System, which helps to catch driver's who have sanctions against them in other states as they apply for licenses.

The following services will be available as usual, according to the PennDOT release:

  • Initial issuance and replacement of photo identification cards
  • Non-commercial driver’s license renewals (Note: The renewal can be completed provided the customer has not received a notice from PennDOT stating they have an outstanding out-of-state driver sanction.)
  • Knowledge (learner’s permit) testing (Note: While knowledge testing will still be conducted at the centers, due to the system enhancement, a learner’s permit cannot be issued upon successful completion of the test on March 26.)
  • On-the-road skills testing (Note: While on-the-road skills testing will still be conducted at the centers, a driver’s license cannot be issued upon successful completion of the test on March 26.)

Customers who pass the knowledge or on-the-road skills tests will need to return to the driver license center on or after the next business day to obtain their product.
