Oregon Drivers License Renewal

[Provincial]

My wife's drivers license expires next month. She received a notice that she must apply for the renewal in person at a DMV office. All offices are closed due to COV19. I expect that they will remain closed past her due date. I can find nothing on the DMV website that addresses this. Does anyone know more about this?

I would be just like the State to let licenses expire and not allow a grace period.

This issue brings up an interesting possibility. I wonder if an expired driver license might invalidate a concealed handgun license holder's legal authority to carry concealed? I seem to remember last time my CHL was renewed the Deputy told me I must present it along with my valid Driver License or State Issued ID Card when asked. Just curious if anyone out there knows for certain?

I wonder what they are going to do about Tags/Plates expired?

I wonder if the State Of Oregon will give a grace period on driver's licenses and CCP renewals? Wondering if it may be for only DLs and NOT CCL pemits?

Initially I read about a statewide relaxation of expiration enforcement but not from anyone with real ink in their pens as of yet.

I am moving plus I will need to renew the plates on my car all in the same month!

I just renewed my Washington State DL by mail.

I just did a quick and dirty Google-Fu, YUP, All DMV offices are close, and there is absolutely no info from them, D.O.T. or Gov'ness Brownstains office on How to go about getting business done, or any info on grace periods or what LEO are doing for plates, licences and such!
Basically an inept .gov system that doesn't know what to do with it self, so it does nothing!
The say they offer on-line servises, but all STATE offices are closed, so.............Yea, ......................frickin great!

Has anyone else run into the problem of moving and then trying to use your license to transfer/buy a gun.? DMV used to put a strip that had your new address on the back of your current card. Evidently they are no longer doing that. So now, you cannot purchase anything without having a current address on your license and they won't put your new address on your current license. You must take in a billing with your new address but CANNOT use a PGE bill because they are private and not a state entity. What a f***up!

But I can go to my local Sheriff's department and get my carry license re-done with my new address.......

Not going to worry about it. They'll get it figured out in the end. They're not open can't do anything about it.

Yeah, they are for driving related stuff. See the "Grace Period" section. Oregon Department of Transportation : DMV COVID-19 Update : Oregon Driver & Motor Vehicle Services : State of Oregon

Same problem here and was just wondering about that.

Thanks to Roundball58 for finding the answer hidden in the DMV website!

My apartment complex in Beaverton has many expired out of state license plates, a couple with temp dealer tags and no license plates at all, one expired almost two years ago yet this person still drives this car. I don't think many people will notice. Haha.

I read somewhere that the LEOs will not be giving tickets for expired tags.

I didn't read about driver's licenses, but I suppose that if it expires during the lockdown and DOL is closed then they will probably let it go. If not, then you have a plausible defense in court.

This is for WA state:

Driver license expiration dates extended 90 days

Expiring Washington state driver licenses and commercial driver licenses have been granted extensions amid the coronavirus pandemic.

Similar stuff for Oregon, including extension of running studded snow tires for an extra month.

Would have to google up Oregon DMV, but no time ATM.

Not like a lot of people are driving around a lot anyway.

I remember when a lot of people got laid off during other crises - e.g., 2008 recession, dot com crunch combined with 9/11. A noticeable reduction in traffic IIRC. Not as much as now though.

I think Idahoo has given a 90day grace period

I'm hoping they say to make your own with Sharpies and Crayolas. They won't be able to tell the difference.
