Section 1030.89  Temporary Driver's

Licenses

and Temporary Instruction Permits

a)         The Department shall issue a temporary driver's license or

instruction permit to an applicant who is not otherwise ineligible for a

driver's license or instruction permit if the Driver Services Facility representative

is unable to produce a driver's license or instruction permit due to an

equipment failure or the facility lacks the equipment needed to produce a

driver's license or instruction permit, or if a required drive test at the time

of renewal cannot be completed due to adverse road conditions that would make

administration of the examination more difficult or unsafe, as determined by

the facility manager.  A temporary driver's license is also issued by a Driver

Services Facility representative if the applicant does not wish a photo to be

taken at the time the license is obtained or renewed due to facial

disfigurement, or if the applicant is waiting for a non-photo driver's license

application to be processed.
