OC customers frustated at DMV due to computer system outage

The DMV experienced a system-wide outage that has caused problems for offices all over California, including an office in Orange County.

STANTON, Calif. (KABC) -- The Department of Motor Vehicles experienced a system-wide outage that has caused problems for offices all over California, including an office in Orange County.

"The department wants to remind customers that DMV online services are still available at www.dmv.ca.gov and apologizes for any inconvenience this issue has caused," the statement said.
