DMV PARTNERS WITH LAW ENFORCEMENT DUE TO COVID-19

March 23, 2020 9:50 a.m. 
The Department of Motor Vehicles has partnered with law enforcement due to the COVID-19 situation.
An update from the DMV said the agencies want to exercise discretion in their enforcement of driver’s licenses, vehicle registrations, and trip permits that expire during the COVID-19 emergency declared by Governor Kate Brown.
The release said the Oregon State Police, Oregon Association of Police Chiefs, and the Oregon State Sheriff’s Association have all agreed to support this “grace period” for enforcing expired credentials.
While DMV offices will remain open, the action is intended to protect the health and safety of people who would otherwise have to visit a DMV office to take care of business, but are concerned during the public health emergency.
Transactions falling within this request include these things which would expire during the COVID-19 emergency.
*Driver license and identification cards
*Passenger vehicle registrations
*Commercial vehicle registrations
*Trip permits
*Disabled parking permits
The release said until the emergency is over, Oregon law enforcement agencies and associations have agreed to exercise flexibility and discretion when reviewing driver licenses and other items.
