If you need to get or renew your driver’s license or the tabs for your car, get it done before Feb. 10 to avoid having to wait more than a week to do so.

All Benton and Franklin county vehicle licensing offices will be closed Feb. 14-17. That includes offices operated by each county’s auditor’s office, as well as the state office on Clearwater Avenue in Kennewick.

State-operated driver’s licensing offices also will be closed.

Online options for those services will be down even longer, from Feb. 10-17.

The service disruption is a result of the state updating its software systems. County officials said the system upgrades will enhance customer service, add security features, and better support mobile devices.
