Driver's license office delayed

POST FALLS — The opening of Kootenai County's Driver's License Office in Post Falls has been delayed until late August due to vendor logistical issues, the Sheriff's Office announced on Thursday night.

The earlier planned opening of the Driver's License Office in the county's former DMV space on Railroad Avenue was mid-August. It has been undergoing a remodel.

The driver's license bureau in Post Falls closed in 1997 after being open for three years.

The Sheriff's Office was advised by the Idaho Transportation Department that computers, cameras, testing stations and other state equipment to be installed have been delayed.

An exact opening date hasn't been determined.

The Driver's License Office at 451 Government Way in Coeur d’Alene will continue to be open Monday through Friday from 7:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.

Last month the county opened the doors to its new DMV office in Post Falls in the building formerly occupied by Daughters of Rebekah and Independent Order of Odd Fellows on Railroad Avenue.
