31 license offices to shut down, Atmore’s to remain open
Published 1:12 pm Wednesday, September 30, 2015
In spite of a $11 million cut in the new general fund appropriation to the Alabama Law Enforcement Agency, the Atmore driver license examiners office will remain open.
Earlier today, ALEA announced that 31 part time, non-state owned and satellite locations were eliminated and that traveling driver license examiners will be reallocated to staff district driver license offices full time.
The appropriation reduced the budget from $55,758,744 to $44,640,937.
“Since the Jan. 1, 2015 implementation date of ALEA, my staff and I have worked hard to make improvements and optimize customer convenience to the citizens of Alabama. In July, I announced several advancements that will help the Driver License issuance process including online scheduling, online driver license renewals and duplicates, self-serve kiosks, digital licensing for smart phones, and statewide equipment upgrades. Since making that announcement, we have had over 40,000 transactions online,” said Secretary of Law Enforcement Spencer Collier. “The impact of the changes due to the budget cuts will be lessened because of the implementation of these technology-based services, including online renewals.”
While the office in Atmore will remain open, the Brewton office will be closing due to the cut in funding.
The Bay Minette office in Baldwin County will close as well.
