How to get a driver's license in Oregon

How it works

• Who does what

  Oregon Driver and Motor Vehicle Services (DMV) tests applicants for an Oregon driving privilege. For an original driving privilege, DMV tests your vision, your driving knowledge and your driving skill. The knowledge and drive tests are described in “The tests.”

• The Class C license

  A Class C non-commercial driving privilege allows you to drive a passenger car, moped, autocycle, van or pickup of not more than 26,000 pounds. This guide covers that kind of license and the permits that lead to it.

• What every applicant needs

  To get a driving privilege, you must, among other things:

  • be at least 15 years of age to apply for an instruction permit and at least 16 to apply for a license;
  • not be suspended, revoked or canceled in Oregon or any other state;
  • surrender any other driving privilege or ID card;
  • successfully complete the required knowledge, vision and drive tests.

• Different steps under 18

  If you are under 18, you follow different steps from the ones for adults. Those steps are in the sections “If you are under 18” and “Rules for young drivers.” The DMV’s over-18 page sends applicants under 18 to its Teen site.

• Study the manual

  DMV tells over-18 applicants to study the Oregon Driver Manual. The knowledge test includes questions about road signs, traffic laws and other information a driver needs to know.

If you are under 18: permit, practice, license

1. Get a provisional instruction permit

   Drivers 15, 16 and 17 years old get a permit called a Provisional Instruction Permit. The minimum age to apply is 15. The permit is valid for 2 years from the date it is issued. DMV does not send you a notice when your permit is about to expire.

   Source: [1] [4]

2. Parent or guardian signature

   When a minor applies for the permit, a parent or legal guardian must give a signature. They sign the electronic application. If your parent or legal guardian cannot come with you to DMV, you submit form 735-173DP with their signature. If you are emancipated or married, you provide proof and then no parent or guardian signature is required.

   Source: [1] [4]

3. School enrollment

   For a first-time Oregon driving privilege under 18, a parent or legal guardian must certify that you are enrolled in or attending school. If you are no longer in school, you must present a high school diploma or a General Education Development (GED) certificate.

   Source: [1]

4. Pass the permit tests

   To get the permit you pass the vision and knowledge tests. You can take the knowledge test online at any time or at a DMV office, with standby service or an appointment. See “The tests” for how the knowledge test works.

   Source: [1] [4]

5. Practice with a supervising driver

   A provisional instruction permit allows you to operate a vehicle only if you are accompanied by a person who has a valid driver license, is at least 21 years of age and is sitting beside you. For your practice hours to count toward the 50 or 100 hours you need for a provisional driver license, the supervising driver must also have had their license for at least 3 years. You cannot use a mobile communication device while driving, and hands-free accessories are not allowed.

   Source: [1] [4]

6. Hours of supervised driving

   You must have 100 hours of supervised driving experience, or 50 hours if you have taken and passed an ODOT-approved traffic safety education course. DMV must receive proof of course completion. DMV’s publication “How to Guide Your Teen Driver” includes a Practice Driving Log to help you keep track of your supervised driving hours.

   Source: [1] [5] [13]

7. Hold the permit for 6 months

   If you are under 18 and applying for a driver license, you must have held an instruction permit for at least 6 months. Holding an out-of-state permit does count toward this requirement.

   Source: [1] [5]

8. If your permit expires

   To get another permit, you do not have to take the knowledge or vision test again unless the permit has been expired for about a year or longer. The DMV’s pages word that limit slightly differently, so check with DMV before you reapply.

   Source: [3] [4]

9. Apply for a provisional driver license

   To get a provisional driver license you must be 16 or 17 years old, have had an instruction permit for 6 months and have completed your supervised driving hours. Your driving privilege cannot be suspended, canceled or revoked in any state. You also take a drive test, by appointment, unless it is waived (see below).

   Source: [5]

10. When the drive test may be waived

    DMV may waive the drive test if you passed an ODOT-approved Driver Education Course within the past 2 years and DMV receives proof of it. If you do not have the course certificate, you must have completed 100 hours of supervised driving practice. The drive test may also be waived if you are new to Oregon and give DMV your out-of-state license. The manual and the DMV’s pages word how long that license may have been expired slightly differently, so check with DMV.

  Source: [5]

• Phones

  Until you are 18, you cannot operate a motor vehicle while using a mobile communication device, including talking on a cell phone and texting. Hands-free accessories are not allowed.

  Source: [5]

• When the limits end

  The passenger and night driving restrictions apply only until you are 18 or until you have had your provisional license for 1 year, whichever comes first.

If you are 18 or older

• The steps DMV lists

  For a driver license, the DMV’s over-18 page lists these steps:

  • Study the Oregon Driver Manual.
  • Visit a DMV office for standby service or make an appointment.
  • Show proof of your physical address and identity (for a REAL ID you bring additional documents).
  • Provide your Social Security number or electronically certify that you do not have one.
  • Pass a vision test.
  • Optional: take the practice knowledge test, in English or Spanish.
  • Pass the knowledge test, if required. You can take it online at any time or at a DMV office.
  • Optional: get driver training or an instruction permit.
  • Schedule and pass the drive test, if required.
  • Pay the fees that apply and get your picture taken.

  Source: [1] [2] [18]

• When you must take the knowledge test

  You take the knowledge test if this is your first time applying for a driver license or permit, or if your previous Oregon driver license has been expired for over 2 years. You must pass the knowledge test before you take a drive test. If you are new to Oregon, see “Moving to Oregon” for the other cases.

  Source: [2]

• Instruction permit

  An instruction permit is required if you wish to practice driving before taking the drive test. An Oregon Class C instruction permit allows you to drive a vehicle if you are with a person who has a valid driver license, is at least 21 years old and is sitting beside you. The permit is valid for two years from the date it is issued. For the permit you also provide your Social Security number or electronically certify that you do not have one.

  Source: [2] [3]

• If your permit expired

  You can apply for another permit without new knowledge or vision tests unless the permit has been expired for about a year or longer. The DMV’s pages word that limit slightly differently, so check with DMV.

  Source: [3] [4]

• Who cannot be licensed

  You cannot be suspended, canceled or revoked in Oregon or any other state. You must also turn in any driver license, permit or ID card from Oregon, another state or another country if you have one.

  Source: [2]

• Practice test

  DMV offers an optional practice knowledge test in English and in Spanish.

• The 30-day rule

  As a new Oregon resident, within 30 days you must get an Oregon driver license if you want to drive, and title and register your vehicle. You must title your vehicle in Oregon if you want to register it.

  Source: [9]

• Transfer without testing

  Most people can transfer their license without testing if it was issued by any U.S. state, territory or the District of Columbia, or by Canada, Germany, Japan, South Korea or Taiwan. The license must not have been expired for long. The manual and the DMV’s pages word that limit slightly differently (about a year), so check with DMV.

  Source: [1] [2] [9]

• When you must take the knowledge test

  A new resident still takes the knowledge test if:

  • your out-of-state license has been expired for about a year or longer;
  • your license is from a country other than Canada, Germany, Japan, South Korea or Taiwan;
  • your permit is issued by another state (if it is valid, you do not need to get an Oregon permit).

  Source: [2]

• Turn in your old license

  You must turn in any driver license, permit or ID card from Oregon, another state or another country if you have one.

  Source: [2]

• Visitors

  As a visitor, you can legally drive in Oregon if you have a valid driver license from any U.S. state, territory or the District of Columbia, or from another country. Visitors include people in the military who are stationed in Oregon.

Documents to bring

• Check the DMV’s lists

  The documents DMV accepts as proof of identity and Oregon residency may change without notice. DMV has the right to ask for additional proof or to refuse any document. For a complete list, see the DMV’s Required Identity Documentation page.

  Source: [1] [6]

• Originals only

  You must present acceptable proof of identity and date of birth. Documents presented as proof must be originals or certified copies from the issuing agency. For a standard (non-REAL ID) card, photocopies are not acceptable.

  Source: [1] [6]

• Proof of identity and date of birth

  For a standard card, you may present one original or certified copy of a primary document that contains both your name and date of birth. Examples are a U.S. passport not expired more than five years and a U.S. birth certificate. A hospital-issued birth certificate, hospital registration card, birth registration or baptismal certificate is not acceptable as a birth certificate. An Oregon driver license, instruction permit or ID card with a photograph also works if it is valid or expired no more than 13 years. If you cannot present a primary document, you need at least two secondary documents from different agencies or courts, and at least one of them must show both your name and date of birth.

  Source: [1] [6]

• Proof of your Social Security number

  Applicants for a standard driver license, permit or ID card must provide a verifiable Social Security number (SSN) if they have been assigned one. You can also electronically certify that you do not have one. You do not have to bring your physical Social Security card; you can give the number verbally.

  Source: [1] [6] [10]

• Proof of your Oregon address

  For a standard card, bring one document that shows your name and current Oregon residential address. These are examples DMV accepts:

  • a utility hook-up order or utility statement issued by the service provider and dated within the past six months;
  • a rental or lease agreement that includes the original or electronic signature of the lessor or landlord;
  • any document issued by a financial institution that includes your residence address;
  • a verbal statement from a person living at the same residence address you gave DMV, if that person comes with you and shows proof of residence address.
  • The manual says personal mail and forwarded mail are not acceptable.

  Source: [1] [6]

• If your name changed

  If your current legal name is different from the name shown on your identity document, you must provide proof of your legal name change. An official government-issued marriage certificate or license is one accepted proof.

  Source: [1] [6]

• For a REAL ID

  A REAL ID needs more documents: proof of identity and lawful status, a verifiable SSN checked with the Social Security Administration (or proof that you are not eligible for one), and two proofs of address. See the REAL ID section.

  Source: [6]

REAL ID

• Your choice

  Oregon offers both standard and REAL ID-compliant driver licenses, instruction permits and ID cards. It is your choice which one to get. In Oregon, you are not required to get a REAL ID.

  Source: [10]

• When you need one

  You do not need a REAL ID to drive. You do need a REAL ID or another acceptable form of ID if you are 18 years or older and will travel by plane or visit military bases, federally secure facilities or nuclear plants in the U.S. People under 18 do not need a REAL ID for U.S. flights, because TSA does not require children under 18 to provide identification when traveling within the United States. If you are not flying soon, you can wait to get a REAL ID until it is time to renew, or use a passport.

  Source: [10] [11]

• How to recognize one

  REAL ID cards are marked with a star in the upper right corner. An Oregon REAL ID has a star inside a black circle there. If you renew and choose not to get a REAL ID, the card says “Not for REAL ID Act” in the upper right corner.

  Source: [10] [11]

• How to get one

  You cannot get an original REAL ID online. You apply in person at a DMV office with the federally required documents. Documents that prove identity, date of birth and lawful status in the U.S. must be originals or certified copies. Photocopies and printouts are acceptable for proof of address only. For the address you need two proofs from two different sources, and a P.O. Box does not work. Your current legal name must match the name on your Social Security card. DMV has an interactive REAL ID document checklist.

  Source: [10] [11]

• Who is eligible

  Noncitizens lawfully admitted for permanent or temporary residence, noncitizens with conditional permanent resident status, noncitizens with an approved application for asylum and noncitizens who entered the U.S. as refugees are eligible for a REAL ID, though the length of the term may vary. A limited term REAL ID license is issued to someone who is temporarily residing in the U.S. It expires on the same date as the authorized length of stay, or in 1 year if the stay is indefinite.

  Source: [2] [10]

• Lawful status documents

  Lawful-status documents DMV lists include an unexpired Permanent Resident Card (Form I-551), or an unexpired foreign passport with an unexpired U.S. visa accompanied by the approved I-94 form.

  Source: [6]

• Good to know

  An Oregon REAL ID driver license or ID card is valid for a maximum of eight years, and switching to a REAL ID does not change the expiration date. A REAL ID is not a passport and cannot be used for border crossings into Canada, Mexico or any other location outside the U.S. DMV scans and stores copies of the REAL ID documents for 10 years. If you are not in the U.S. temporarily, you can renew or replace your REAL ID at a DMV office or on DMV2U.

At the office

• Appointments and standby

  DMV offers appointments for in-person visits through an online tool. You can also visit a DMV office for standby service without an appointment, but walk-in customers can expect longer wait times with no guarantee they will be served. New appointment slots are made available 30 days out on a rolling hour-by-hour basis. Making an appointment on DMV2U is the best assurance for in-office service.

  Source: [10] [11] [17]

• Good to know before you go

  Offices are open to the public, and some also offer appointments. All DMV offices are closed on weekends and statewide holidays. Some DMV services are offered at only a limited number of locations. All calls go to the DMV Call Center, and you cannot call a local office directly. Drive test appointments do not include the written knowledge test.

  Source: [16]

• Busy times

  The busiest times at DMV offices, with the longest waits, tend to be Mondays, Fridays, early mornings, late afternoons and around lunch time. Have all your documents ready before you go.

  Source: [13] [20]

• If you need help

  You can request an ADA or other special accommodation online through DMV2U, under Appointments. The DMV office list is also available in Cantonese, Mandarin, Russian, Spanish and Vietnamese. If an appointment office is closed or a drive test is canceled because of weather, DMV notifies you by email.

  Source: [16]

• Your photo

  These items are not allowed in your license photo: eyeglasses, sunglasses, a hat or head covering (other than religious), contacts that change the appearance of the eye, face paint, stickers or bandages, and anything that covers your face or changes your appearance.

  Source: [1] [2]

• Fees and payment

  Fees change, so this guide gives no amounts. See the DMV’s driver licensing and ID card fees page. Every time you take a test, you must first pay the test fee, separate from any other fees, and present proof of identity, date of birth and current residence address. All DMV offices accept cash, credit and debit cards, and checks.

  Source: [1] [16] [19]

The tests

• What DMV tests

  For an original driving privilege, DMV tests your vision, your driving knowledge and your driving skill. In some cases the knowledge or drive test may be waived; see “Moving to Oregon” and “When the drive test may be waived.”

  Source: [1] [2] [13]

• Vision test

  DMV tests your eyesight to confirm you can see well enough to drive safely. If you do not pass, DMV gives you a form to take to a licensed vision specialist. If you take the test with glasses or contacts, your driving privilege will indicate that corrective lenses are required.

  Source: [1]

• The knowledge test

  The Class C knowledge test has 35 multiple-choice questions. You must answer 28 questions correctly to receive a passing score. The test includes questions about road signs, traffic laws and other information a driver needs to know.

  Source: [1] [2] [4]

• Where you can take it

  You can take the knowledge test online at DMV2U at any time, or at a DMV office with standby service or an appointment. At a DMV office, the test is given on a touch-screen monitor, with or without audio assistance. You may bring your own earbuds or headphones.

  Source: [1]

• Languages

  At a DMV office, the Class C knowledge test is available in English, Spanish, Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Russian and Vietnamese. The DMV’s pages do not agree on which languages the online test offers, so this guide does not list them.

  Source: [4] [7]

• Taking the test online

  DMV offers Class C and motorcycle endorsement knowledge testing online. The knowledge test fee is the same online as in a DMV office. To test online:

  • You must use a desktop or laptop computer with a mouse and keyboard. You cannot use a touchscreen device, including mobile phones or tablets.
  • Your computer must have a working webcam. A clear photo of you is taken at the start of the test, and random photos are taken during the test to confirm your identity.
  • Testers and proctors must provide a valid Social Security number to register. If you have not been assigned one, you can test in a DMV office.
  • You can take the online knowledge test twice in any 24-hour period, and four times in all. Any later attempts must be made at a DMV office.

  Source: [1] [7]

• Online testing under 18

  Testers under the age of 18 are required to have a proctor register and observe them complete their test. Testers age 18 and older are not required to have a proctor. After the online test, your parent or legal guardian provides their signature at the DMV.

  Source: [7]

• Rules in the testing area

  The rules are: no books, no notes, no phones, no talking, no electronic or smart devices and no cheating. With permission, you may use a paper foreign language translation dictionary. Only those being tested and authorized translators are allowed in the testing area. DMV stops giving the knowledge test 1 hour before closing, and most offices also stop an hour before lunch. Check your local office page for its testing hours.

  Source: [1] [2] [20]

• Cheating

  If DMV determines that you are cheating, you fail your test and you are not allowed to test again for 90 days. DMV will suspend your driving privileges, or your right to apply for them, for a year if you allow another individual to take the test for you.

  Source: [1] [7]

• If you fail the knowledge test

  If you fail a knowledge test at a DMV office, you may test again the same day, depending on the DMV office’s testing resource availability. Online, you can test twice in a 24-hour period and four times in all.

  Source: [1] [7]

• Practice before you go

  DMV has a practice knowledge test in English and in Spanish. It is optional. Study the Oregon Driver Manual; it includes all the information necessary to pass the test.

  Source: [1] [2] [18]

• The drive test

  During the drive (behind-the-wheel) test, you demonstrate your driving skills and knowledge of traffic rules, highway signs and signals. The test includes turning, backing up, parking, lane changes, speed control, signaling, vehicle control and general driving ability. It takes approximately 20 minutes. Only you and the examiner are allowed in the vehicle. Translators, family, friends and pets are not allowed. When you back up, do not use your mirrors or back-up camera except for an occasional glance.

  Source: [1] [13]

• Who can take it

  To take a drive test you must be 16 years or older. If you are under 18, you must have held an instruction permit for at least six months. You must pass the knowledge test before you take a drive test. You must not be in the At-Risk Driver Program.

  Source: [2] [8]

• Scheduling a drive test

  Drive tests are by appointment only. You can test with DMV or with a DMV-contracted Class C testing business. DMV offers a limited number of drive tests at select field offices. Third-party testers can often schedule tests more quickly and at times or on days not available at DMV. Testing businesses set their own fees and days of operation. DMV is not involved in scheduling, canceling or rescheduling tests with them, so contact the business directly.

  Source: [1] [8]

• If you test with a testing business

  You will need to give the testing business your Oregon DMV customer number. You must take two photocopies of a picture ID to the drive test. Some testing businesses require you to use one of their company-owned vehicles for the test.

  Source: [8]

• The vehicle

  DMV requires you to bring a passenger vehicle with current registration and valid proof of insurance. You can use a valid insurance card, a current vehicle liability insurance policy or binder, or a DMV Certificate of Self-Insurance showing you as the owner of the vehicle. If you are not named on the rental agreement for a rental car, you must provide a letter from the rental agency stating that it is extending vehicle insurance coverage to you.

  Source: [1] [2]

• Getting the vehicle ready

  Vehicle equipment that must be in working order for the test includes: the vehicle starts under its own power; turn signals (front and back); brake lights; horn; a passenger door that opens and closes with the handle from inside and outside; a proper, secure and reasonably clean passenger seat; seatbelts; tires that are not bald or damaged; a muffler with no excessive leaks or unreasonable noise; displayed valid registration; and side view or rearview mirrors. Nothing may obstruct the driver’s or examiner’s view to the front, side or rear of the vehicle. Remove objects from the dashboard and rearview mirror, and remove weapons from your vehicle before taking a drive test. If your vehicle does not pass the equipment check, you will have to reschedule the drive test.

  Source: [1]

• If you fail the drive test

  If you fail the drive test, you must wait until the next business day before retaking the test.

  Source: [1] [2]

• Fees

  Test fees are paid in advance. Bring a separate payment for your test fee and your issuance fee. See the DMV’s driver licensing and ID card fees page for the current amounts.

  Source: [1] [13]

After you pass

• Your interim card

  You will get an interim card to use as proof of driving privileges. Many government agencies and businesses, such as the Transportation Security Administration and the Social Security Administration, do not accept the interim card as proof of identification. Check with the agency or business before you go to find out what documents they will accept.

  Source: [2]

• Your license arrives by mail

  Your license will be mailed to the address you provide to DMV. If you move or have a forwarding order on file with USPS, the card will not be forwarded.

  Source: [2]

• Optional extras

  If you are a veteran, you may request a veteran designation on your license or permit. When your driving privilege is issued, you can sign up on the organ, eye and tissue donor registry.

  Source: [1]

• Keep a good record

  In order to keep your driving privilege, you must maintain a good driving record.

  Source: [1]

• If you are under 18

  The passenger and night driving restrictions on a provisional license end when you turn 18 or when your provisional license is 1 year old, whichever comes first. See “Rules for young drivers.”

  Source: [5]

Keeping your license

• Renewal

  You can renew your license up to 12 months before it expires or up to 2 years after it expires. If your Oregon license has been expired for more than 2 years, you have to apply for a new driver license, pay the original fee and take tests. To renew online, among other conditions, you need a photo on file with DMV that is less than nine years old.

  Source: [2]

• If you are 65 or older

  If you are 65 years or older, you are not able to renew online. You need to visit a DMV office and have your vision tested in person; you must pass a vision test.

  Source: [2]

• How long a license lasts

  A driver license or ID card is valid for up to eight years. A limited term license expires with your authorized stay (see “REAL ID”). Switching to a REAL ID does not change the expiration date. Next time you renew, you can choose the REAL ID option.

  Source: [2] [10] [11]

• Replacing a lost, stolen or damaged license

  You can get a replacement driver license if yours is lost, stolen or damaged. To replace it online, you answer security questions, and you get an online receipt to use as proof of valid driving privileges. In a DMV office, you need proof of identity (for a REAL ID you bring additional documents) and your full legal name, if you are changing your name.

  Source: [2]

• Changing your address

  You are required to notify DMV within 30 days of changing your address. You can make a personal address change online. You will not have to get a replacement card when your address changes. Your voter registration information will be updated unless you state that you do not want it changed.

  Source: [14]

• Changing your name

  To change your name on your license, you present proof of your legal name change. For a REAL ID, the name on the credential must match the name on file with the SSA. Changing the name on your driver license does not automatically change existing vehicle documents.

  Source: [15]

The ID card

• Who can get one

  Oregon offers standard and REAL ID-compliant ID cards. Children are eligible for an ID card.

  Source: [10]

• How to get one

  Make an appointment or visit a DMV office for standby service. You provide your Social Security number or electronically certify that you do not have one. You must turn in any driver license, permit or ID card from Oregon, another state or another country if you have one.

  Source: [12]

• Renewing and replacing

  You can renew an ID card up to twelve months before or 2 years after it expires. If your ID has been expired for more than two years, you will have to apply for a new ID card and pay the original fee. A replacement ID card is issued for a change of name, address or sex, among other reasons.

  Source: [12]

• If you can no longer drive safely

  If you feel you can no longer drive safely, and you meet certain requirements, you can turn in your Oregon driver license and be issued a free ID card.
