The Department of Transportation has partnered with Oregon law enforcement agencies to exercise discretion in their enforcement of driver licenses, vehicle registrations and trip permits that expire during the COVID-19 emergency.
Starting on January 1, 2021 after the moratorium ends, an agreement with Oregon law enforcement will go into effect. This is not a legal citation moratorium but an understanding with law enforcement that they will extend a three-month grace period to drivers who may have an expired DMV product (Nov. 1, 2020 - Apr. 30, 2021) while they wait for their appointment. The grace period will not extend to customers who had cards or registrations expire in 2019. Read a
letter of agreement about the grace period.
If you are registered to vote and do not move your address, you are still registered. The expiration of your driver license or ID card has nothing to do with voter registration.

DEQ closure and your registration
- DEQ testing stations are now open.
- DEQToo™ businesses also provide DEQ testing. Once you pass the test, renew online at DMV2U.
- If you bought a DEQ certificate online when their offices were closed, but have not had your vehicle tested:
- Contact DEQ. DEQ Too businesses cannot complete your inspection, you must go to a DEQ testing station.
- If you renewed online and received your stickers, do not contact DMV. Your registration is still valid.
