The Oregon Department of Motor Vehicles will put its online services on pause as a new computer system is launched.

A DMV release said those services will not be available from 6:30 p.m. July 2nd through 8:00 a.m. July 6th as part of the DMV computer system replacement.

The release said the system being installed over the holiday weekend will bring new online services and improved efficiency to DMV when it launches on Monday. All DMV offices are on hold over the weekend as computer systems are down for the technology replacement and testing.

Beginning Monday, residents can go to www.oregondmv.com/dmv2u to get these services online:

*Schedule, reschedule or cancel an appointment

*Order a replacement for a lost, stolen or damaged driver license or ID card

*Pay a reinstatement fee

*Order a person’s own driver record

*Upload a medical examiners certificate for commercial driver licensing

A law enforcement grace period on expired licenses and vehicle registration is in effect until at least October 1st. The grace period is intended to allow residents to continue driving while waiting for an appointment, or allow some people to delays visiting DMV while it works through the backlog due to COVID-19 restrictions. The release said law enforcement can verify the status of a driver or vehicle electronically during a traffic stop.
