State issues 663 photo IDs during special hours

NASHVILLE, TN. (AP) - State officials say 663 photo IDs were issued Saturday during special operating hours at 19 Tennessee driver service centers.

The centers will be open on the first Saturday of each month through next March for issuing such photos.
