Maine to Join State-to-State Verification Service and Driver History Record

10/28/2024

Maine will begin using AAMVA’s State-to-State Verification Service (S2S) and S2S Driver History Record (DHR) on Monday, December 16, 2024. Tasks related to on-boarding Maine will be conducted during the weekend of December 14, 2024. During this process (Saturday evening to Monday morning), there may be periods during which the CDLIS/S2S Central Site is in inquiry-only mode or is unavailable (over and above the regularly scheduled maintenance window of 2:00 AM ET to 5:00 AM ET on Sunday, December 15, 2024). AAMVA is taking all steps possible to minimize service interruptions and will be sending alerts notifying states of Central Site availability throughout the process.
 


Dear CDLIS and State-to-State (S2S) Participants:

Maine (ME) will be the next state to adopt State-to-State Verification Service (S2S) and S2S Driver History Record (DHR) following its implementation during the weekend of December 14, 2024. Please be aware that regular CDLIS/S2S Central Site availability between the evening of Saturday, December 14, 2024, and early morning of Monday, December 16, 2024, will be affected. More specifically, there may be periods during which the Central Site is in inquiry-only mode, and there may be periods during which the Central Site is unavailable (over and above the regularly scheduled maintenance window of 2:00 AM to 5:00 AM ET on Sunday). Exact details will be shared as soon as they are available.

The Central Site should be fully operational again on Monday, December 16, 2024, 5:00 AM ET. All other systems will be up and running during their usual available hours.

Status and History requests between states should be unaffected by the work at the Central Site, except for inquiries directed to Maine. Information about ME’s availability will be shared in future communications.

Please refer to the Implementation Calendar available under State-to-State (S2S) Verification Service for the list of states joining S2S program and/or S2S DHR in the upcoming months.

Please note that states are encouraged to avoid these weekends for performing maintenance or deployment activities that require the Central Site to be available. Please contact AAMVA if such activities are unavoidable.
