LAKEVIEW -- The Oregon DMV Lakeview office at 855 South F St. is closed this week, Sept. 15-19, due to staffing. The closest DMV office is in Klamath Falls.
Oregon DMV has had roughly the same number of staff for the last 25 years, as set by the Legislature. Yet we are serving around 800,000 more people, the population increase since then. Now with a hiring freeze, we often have to temporarily close an office if we don’t have enough people to staff it. The Lakeview office has only one full-time employee.
Drop-in customers can expect longer wait times with no guarantee of same-day service. For a better experience, check the office status before visiting, make an appointment, see if you can do your transaction on DMV2U, and renew your registration using our mail-in options.
