Many customers at the Flamingo DMV location shared with us that they waited anxiously for days to see when DMV offices would reopen amid the ongoing statewide outage.
"I went and got my permit done," 15-year-old Marcus King told Channel 13. "It feels amazing, I can finally drive now."

DMV customer Valentino Madrigal said that he had an appointment to renew his ID last week during the office closures. He expressed concern over the holdup, sharing that his new job had to be put on hold because he didn't have his ID to go through the necessary onboarding processes.
"It was just chaotic," Madrigal said. "I couldn't cash my check from my other job, and if I were to get pulled over I had nothing to show that I could drive or who I am."
This all comes after Gov. Joe Lombardo addressed media and said the state is "well ahead" of the time frame it would usually take to recover from cyberattacks of this scale.

DMV offices first closed for in-person services on Aug. 25. Services slowly came back, first with driving tests last week, and offices reopened earlier this week.
Lombardo did say recovery efforts remain ongoing and added any information regarding the active investigation (motive, attacker identity, federal assistance, etc.) cannot be answered at this time.
Lombardo maintains that vital social and health services were never affected, such as Medicaid and the Public Employees Benefits Program. The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) and Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) were also not interrupted.
This is a developing report. We are working to learn more about the ongoing recovery efforts and will update this report as we know more.
