NATIONAL — The Illinois Secretary of State’s Office said systems are working normally after a nationwide network outage Thursday.

Multiple states reported disrupted services at departments of motor vehicles offices Thursday in a “national outage” that halted license-related transactions due to “a loss in cloud connectivity.”

The outage was first reported around 9:50 a.m. ET Thursday with facilities having no ability to process messages that support transactions of driver licenses and motor vehicle titles. This left many motor vehicle agencies unable to issue driver licenses and vehicle titles.

Connectivity was reportedly restored to nearly all states as of 2 p.m. ET Thursday. Agencies say “The outage had nothing to do with software — strictly connectivity.”

Microsoft is reporting that some cloud services in Virginia “experienced a connectivity issue Thursday morning, but has since been resolved.

DMV offices across the country had issued warnings about the outage to locals on social media Thursday.

Illinois Secretary of State Alexi Giannoulias wrote on X that all driver’s license facilities and DMVs in Illinois and “across the country” were down.
