Overview

If you previously lived in Oregon and are now returning, this page will assist you in titling and registering your vehicle in Oregon.

Titling & Registering
You may need to re-title and re-register your vehicle if you:
  • Previously titled and registered your vehicle in Oregon;
  • Moved out of state; and
  • Are moving back to Oregon with your vehicle.
Titled Out of State
If you titled your vehicle in another state, you must start over and apply for a new Oregon title and new Oregon registration (plates).

Only Registered Out of State
If You Still Have the Oregon License Plates
If you only registered (not titled) your vehicle in another state and you still have the Oregon plates:
  • You can use the plates on the vehicle for the rest of the registration time left on the plates.
  • When the plates expire, you can renew the registration.
If You No Longer Have the Oregon License Plates
If you only registered (not titled) your vehicle in another state, but you do not have the Oregon plates:
  • You can get replacement license plates. These plates will have the same expiration date as before.
  • If the registration has expired, you must renew at the time of replacement.
