Persons With Disabilities parking placards that expire before May 31 also have been extended through June 30, PennDOT said.

The extensions are in addition to others already announced by PennDOT on May 1 related to driver's licenses, photo ID cards and learner permits. All of those already had been extended through June 30.

On Tuesday, PennDOT announced it will use existing photos of customers who renew their driver's licenses and ID cards in an effort to limit the number of people at the department's license centers during the coronavirus outbreak.

As of Wednesday, limited services were being offered at some PennDOT driver's license and photo license centers. A list of which centers are open, and when, is available on the PennDOT website.

Pennsylvanians may visit the website to complete some driver's license and vehicle services online. They include license and vehicle registration renewals. There are no additional fees for using online services.
