Computer-based transactions at the New Mexico Motor Vehicle Division and state taxation offices were unavailable for several hours Monday as computer technicians worked to resolve an agency-wide problem.
The Taxation and Revenue Department said Monday that it was unable to perform tax-program functions and was experiencing difficulties across all agency computer systems.
The agency oversees driver's licenses and motor vehicle registration. The Motor Vehicle Division was able to conduct road tests and vehicle inspections as computer technicians attempted to fix the computer issues into the afternoon on Monday.
The cause of the difficulties was unclear.
