The DMV has booked 39,860 appointments for the drive-only written test from Dec. 1 to March 12, according to data provided by the department.
Four Connecticut Department of Motor Vehicles branches are no longer accepting appointments for the state’s new undocumented immigrant licensing program, while thousands are waiting months to take the written test.
The Norwalk, Hamden, Waterbury and Old Saybrook offices stopped offering the drive-only services on Thursday due to the number of written test appointments already scheduled, according to a statement from the DMV.
DMV spokesman William Seymour said department officials need to assess how they are using their resources, because of the high demand for the program.
“We are working on that now and have restructured our appointment system in these offices while we do this review,” said Seymour in an email. “There are offices nearby in those geographic regions that can assist the drive-only applicants seeking a knowledge test.”
