So got an email that says the new rollout for electronic licenses will not be complete by the March 1st deadline. This is an existing system in multiple states. The only thing I can figure is that the DNR has been so bad about electronic database housekeeping that they would not be prepared for the rollout. No date was given for the new rollout date. I try hard to support the DNR but dang they make it tough.
So does that mean I’ll need to go buy a fishing license in person?
Yup they wont be online until sometime later. Initially they said if they weren’t up on time they would waive the license until it was but now they are sticking with the old system until the other one is done.
Not just the DNR, the state government as a whole sucks at technology – remember a couple years ago they screwed up the DMV systems so bad they had to spend another 100 million on starting over and many people were stuck without licenses, tabs, etc. Not sure what the problem is (DEI? lol!) but its embarrasing. My son got stopped in ND as the state couldn’t get him plates for his vehicle, and my BIL actually had to get a state trooper help him get his plates straightened out as the DMV gave him plates for someone elses vehicle.

But…in the old system I bought my life as online. I haven’t purchased one in person in years.
Because the workers still work remotely.
They were terribly inefficient working in the office with supervision, 10X worse now.
