SALEM -- The John Day DMV office will change days of service starting Nov. 13 due to staffing shortages.
Regular hours are as follows:
John Day DMV, 193 N Canyon Blvd., John Day, OR 97845
Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday, 9 a.m. – 5 p.m.
Wednesday, 10 a.m. – 5 p.m.
Daily closure from 12:30 p.m. – 2 p.m.
NEW service days and hours starting Nov. 13 will be:
Wednesday, 10 a.m. – 5 p.m.
Thursday, 9 a.m. – 5 p.m.
Daily closure from 12:30 p.m. – 2 p.m.
Experienced staff will travel to John Day to open the office and serve the public on these days. Road closures or inclement weather may have additional impacts to service hours, so check if the office is open before you go at OregonDMV.com.
With reduced office hours, DMV customers should consider conducting their business online. “More than ever, we recommend going online for the most common DMV transactions,” said DMV Administrator Amy Joyce. “We’ve added more than two dozen services in the past three years.” Customers can see what they can do online now at DMV2U.Oregon.gov. Many transactions, such as registration renewal or transferring a title, can also be done through the mail.
Other services, such as adding the Real ID option to your license, must be done in person. Before you go to DMV, make sure you have all the documents you need and that your local office is open by visiting the office’s page at OregonDMV.com. Use the Real ID tool to determine which documents you need to bring for Real ID.
DMV Job Openings
“DMV has been experiencing the same shortage of applicants for job openings as other employers statewide and nationwide,” Joyce said. “The people working at your local DMV live in your community — and could use your help.”
Apply for a job at ODOT today at www.odotjobs.com. Select "Department of Transportation" under the Company menu.
New positions post frequently. If you don’t see a DMV job in the area where you live, please check back regularly, or consider a different opportunity at ODOT. Jobs are full time and include great benefits.
We are committed to having a workforce that reflects the diversity of Oregon, and especially encourage members of traditionally underrepresented communities to apply — those who are bilingual including those who speak English as a second language, people of color, people with disabilities, and members of the LGBTQ community.
“In the meantime, please be kind and patient to your local DMV staff — they are your neighbors, friends and maybe even family,” Joyce said.
