Use an Express Kiosk

Visit one of the DMV Express Kiosks to renew your vehicle registration, print a copy of your vehicle registration and replace your vehicle registration card and stickers. Visit ODOTkiosk.oregon.gov to learn more and to use our interactive map. Enter your location in the search tool to find a kiosk near you.

Visit a DMV Office

Many offices offer appointments. DMV appointments are prioritized and often have much shorter wait times. View available appointments at an office near you.

You can visit any DMV office without an appointment. Here are some tips:

Office Hours

Check the hours and available services for the office you want to visit before you go. If your area is experiencing inclement weather, you can check the Department of Administrative Services Building Closures to view if your DMV office is closed or on delayed opening. You can also use the interactive map on the DMV Office webpage to view if there is a delayed opening or closure.

Don't Get Turned Away - Items to Bring

Bring all required documentation.
You must present proof that you are eligible for a driver license, permit or ID card. View our acceptable proof list.

Call DMV

For general service, be ready to give the DMV customer service representative your:

Driver's license number.
License plate number.
Vehicle identification number (VIN).

Have paper and pen ready to take down requirements or other information the customer service representative may give you.
When checking to see if we have received your overnight documents or payments, verify that the carrier shows delivery to DMV before you call.
For directions to your local DMV office, refer to the "Driving Directions" section of the office page instead of calling.
