The vehicle department in the Marion County Treasurer’s Office will be closed May 1 through 7 because of a statewide computer system upgrade.

No vehicle title work, registration renewals, or driver’s license or identification card renewals will be allowed while state officials convert 6.8 million vehicle registration records to the new system.

Anyone with a license plate registration due in April or a driver’s license expiring in April or the first week of May are urged to renew no later than April 30 to avoid problems with expired plates and licenses. Registration renewals due in May will be printed to be compatible with the new system and will be mailed later than usual.

The treasurer’s office will be open during the conversion for real estate and other department business. For more information, call (620) 382-3106 or (620) 382-2180.
