Drivers License facilities and DMVs in Illinois are back up and running following a nationwide "network outage," the Illinois Secretary of State said Thursday afternoon.
The outage was first reported by Illinois Secretary of State Alexi Giannoulias on X, formerly Twitter.
"We are currently experiencing a nationwide network outage at our DMV facilities," Illinois Secretary of State Alexi Giannoulias wrote at 10:10 a.m. on X. Giannoulias added that all DMVs, or Department of Motor Vehicles facilities, "across the country" were down.

It wasn't immediately clear if a network outage remained at other DMV locations across the country.
