Seven self-service driver services kiosks across various counties in East Tennessee will temporarily close on Monday, December 9. The closures are to facilitate the installation of new kiosks that will offer enhanced services. The affected locations include Anderson, Fentress, Hamilton, Knox, Loudon, and Meigs Counties. Specific venues that will undergo upgrades are the Anderson County Clerk in Clinton, Hamilton County Clerk in Chattanooga, Fentress County Clerk in Jamestown, Loudon County Clerk at the Courthouse Annex in Loudon, Meigs County Clerk in Decatur, and facilities at the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga and Knoxville.
In addition to these, kiosks at the University of Memphis, Middle Tennessee State University, Moore County Public Library, Nashville Public Library Bellevue Branch, and various county clerk locations including Crockett, Jackson, Lauderdale, Rutherford, and Shelby will also close on the same date for the installation of the new equipment.
The new kiosks will enable users to perform various Driver Services transactions including renewing or replacing a driver license or ID card, changing an address, updating emergency contact information, advancing a Teen/Graduated Driver License, paying reinstatement fees, and requesting a license reissue after fulfilling reinstatement requirements. The upgraded kiosks will support photo capture and process payments via Apple Pay, Google Pay, or credit/debit card.
