If you are temporarily outside of Oregon and your Oregon license has been lost, stolen, mutilated, destroyed, or is about to expire, you may be eligible to apply for a “Valid With Previous Photo” driver license or permit.
 
To see if you qualify for a Valid-With-Previous-Photo (VWPP) license, fill out and submit a driver-related online inquiry, specifying your request to have a VWPP packet sent to you at an alternate specified address in Step 3B of the form.  You must also provide a phone number or email address so that we can contact you. 
 
Please contact DMV if you have questions or need more information.
