📢 Important Notice for PA Drivers
🚗 PennDOT Mail Processing Delays 📬
We’ve heard from many residents who haven’t received their driver’s license or registration renewals.
A mail vendor failed to deliver Commonwealth mail between Nov. 2023 and Dec. 2025 — but the issue has been fixed.
✅ The vendor has been terminated
✅ A new mail provider is now in place
✅ All delayed mail has been sent — please allow 7–10 days for delivery
If you’re still waiting, you can:
🔹 Renew online or print a free duplicate registration card:
👉 pa.gov/services/dmv/order-a-duplicate-registration
🔹 Complete a DL-80 form at any driver’s license center (no notary needed) to get a free camera card
If you continue to have issues, please contact my office — we’re here to help.
📬 I’ll continue to share updates as more information becomes available.
