Ketchikan’s DMV is offering only limited services while the state agency replaces employees who left this summer. That’s frustrated local residents needing title transfers, road tests and other services not available online.
Sean Gilmon needed three vehicle title transfers and he needed them urgently. He said he’s used to just walking into Ketchikan’s Division of Motor Vehicles office and being done in 15 minutes. But this time, that wasn’t an option.
