SALEM -- The Oregon DMV Tillamook office at 308 Evergreen Drive is closed today due to a facility issue. The DMV Astoria office at 705 W. Marine Drive is closed today due to staffing.
Oregon DMV has been severely understaffed for years. The number of positions we are allowed by law to fill is roughly the same as it was 25 years ago, yet the state’s population has grown by over 800,000 since then, with nearly all those Oregonians needing DMV services.
Due to our funding crisis, severe understaffing, and a hiring freeze, customers dropping in at a DMV office can expect longer wait times with no guarantee they can be served that day. Making an appointment at DMV2U.oregon.gov is the best assurance for in-office service. Ongoing staffing challenges often cause last-minute office closures, so Oregonians should first check the office status on the DMV website.
Wait times are shorter for everyone when customers can skip the line altogether. Oregon DMV now offers more than 20 transactions on DMV2U, and customers can renew and replace registrations and stickers at self-serve Express Kiosks in 10 Fred Meyer stores on the I-5 corridor and in Bend, with plans to expand to further locations. Vehicle transactions (other than VIN inspections) can be done by mail.
