You might not know that a number of DMV services can be impacted by winter weather. If you are planning to visit DMV, it’s always a good idea to plan ahead when winter weather might become a factor. If you have a drive test scheduled in snow and ice conditions, you might be required to have traction tires or chains for the test. If conditions are unsafe, you may even have your test rescheduled. It’s also possible that DMV offices may close due to unsafe conditions or lack of staffing when winter weather hits. Before you plan a visit, check our website at www.OregonDMV.com.
The good news is, winter weather doesn’t have to delay you from getting what you need at DMV! That’s because we have more than 20 transactions that can be done online at www.OregonDMV.com, no matter what the weather brings. So stay safe, check conditions, and take care of business from the comfort of home!
