The Marion County Driver’s License station will change the dates in which they issue licenses in Pella. Starting on March 6th, they will shift to the first and third Wednesdays monthly. Marion County Treasurer Michaela Bigaouette tells KRLS News the change was made to provide better service to Pella area residents, while relieving staffing issues at their main office in Knoxville.

“Not only will this help relieve workflow issues for my staff, but in the city of Pella, those school districts get out every Wednesday,” she says. “So our hope is that will provide some relief…there’s no longer that stress for those parents to get kids up there by 3:30 on a Friday to test, now they’ve got a little extra time.”

On the days the Pella driver’s license station is open, it will be closed at the Knoxville location in the courthouse. The station in Pella will continue to be located at 829 Broadway Street in the Memorial Building. No more dates are scheduled in Pella until the transition officially begins on Wednesday, March 6th.
