Bloomfield's police chief wants to stop the MVD from printing state issued driver’s licenses and ID cards for foreign nationals.

Chief Mike Kovacs says it takes three times as long for the MVD to process a foreign national ID card because of all the paperwork.

The city says the long wait time is the number one complaint from residents.

Since Bloomfield’s MVD is owned by the city, councilors can vote on Kovac's proposal.

Currently Artesia is the only city in the state that has passed a similar resolution.
