John Day DMV will be closed June 14-15 for remodeling

 

June 4, 2021

The John Day DMV office will be closed June 14 and 15 for remodeling.

The project includes adding a public restroom to comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act, and ergonomic service counters.

The office has been located at 193 N. Canyon Blvd. since 1998. It is normally open by appointment from 9 a.m. to 5 pm. Monday through Friday, except Wednesdays when it opens at 10 a.m. The office is closed every day from 12:30 to 2 p.m. for administrative work and lunch..

To make an appointment, go to DMV2U.Oregon.gov. If there are no available appointments showing, you may need to check back frequently until you find an open appointment time; future appointments are opened up every Monday night.

If the office has capacity, they might be able to help some customers on a standby basis. If there is not standby capacity available, you will need to make an appointment or go back another day.

To allow time for the remodeling, the John Day DMV will not have appointment slots or standby service open June 14 or 15.

 

Renew your license online

Most customers now can renew their license, permit or ID card online at DMV2U.

To find out if you are eligible to renew your current Oregon credential online, go to DMV2U.Oregon.gov and start using the online renewal option. If you’re eligible to renew online, you will be able to complete the transaction using a debit/credit card. DMV will mail your new card to you within about 10 days.

Any time you need a DMV service, first see if you can get it at DMV2U.Oregon.gov. DMV has added more than 20 online services in the past two years and is constantly looking at ways to introduce more services online.

 

Grace period extended to end of 2021

The Oregon Legislature has extended the moratorium on traffic tickets for driver licenses, permits, ID cards, vehicle registration and disabled parking placards that are expired less than six months through Dec. 31, 2021. This law took effect May 6 when the governor signed House Bill 2137.

 

Consider getting Real ID

If you travel by air or might in the future, consider getting the Real ID option when you renew your license, permit or ID card. You will need to visit a DMV office in person to apply for your first Real ID card.

Starting in May 2023, you will need a Real ID-compliant form of ID at airport security checkpoints for all flights. Many people already have a Real ID-compliant credential, like a passport or passport card.

Find out your best option for air travel ID at Oregon.gov/RealID. If you want the Oregon Real ID option, you can create a checklist of documents you’ll need to bring to DMV with our online tool at Oregon.gov/RealID.

Don’t wait until you book flights or choose a college in another state. Make sure you have the ID you’ll need to fly within the United States.
