Residents hoping to renew their driver’s licenses can still expect months-long delays thanks to a backlog at the County Vehicle Registration and Licensing Division.

Naomi O’Dell, administrator for the Vehicle Registration and Licensing Division, said her department currently is working through renewal processes for 13,000 expired or expiring driver’s licenses and that people trying to schedule an appointment for a renewal this week might not get into an office until April or May.
