8 community february7 2019 Gray Whale License Plates Available in Oregon The Oregon State University Marine Mammal Institute Gray Whale vehicle license plate is available for Oregon vehicles starting February 1. The plate is only for passenger vehicles titled and registered in Oregon. In addition to regular title, registration, and plate manufacturing fees, the Gray Whale plate has a $40 surcharge due when you first order the plate and at each registration renewal. The surcharge is the same amount for four-year or two-year registration periods. Surcharge funds will go to the OSU Marine Mammal Institute to help fund marine mammal research and education. For more information on the foundation, visit https://mmi. oregonstate.edu. Custom (vanity) and Amateur Radio Operator (HAM radio) versions will be available on the Gray Whale plate. DMV cannot reserve specific number-letter configurations for license plates. Also, DMV does not sell “sample” versions of license plates. People can apply for the plates by mail, at DMV field offices, online, or through licensed vehicle dealers when they purchase a car. Customers cannot apply for a Gray Whale plate online if they are submitting a pre-paid voucher. Customers cannot replace vehicle plates through DEQ emissions testing stations (emissions tests are required only in parts of the Portland and Medford metropolitan areas). The cost of a set of plates depends upon when and how a vehicle owner applies for a new set. Here are two common scenarios: 1. Plates ordered within 120 days before a vehicle’s stickers expire: • Gray Whale surcharge: $40 (also paid at every renewal) • Plate fee: $24 for the pair • Plate replacement fee: $5 • Registration renewal: $112 (Multnomah County residents add $38; Washington County residents add $60) 2. Plates ordered more than 120 days before a vehicle’s stickers expire: • Gray Whale surcharge: $40 (also paid at every two-year renewal) • Plate fee: $24 for the pair • Plate replacement fee: $10 • Total : $74 People who purchase a new or used vehicle from a licensed dealer may order Gray Whale plates as part of the car-buying process. Dealers file title and registration applications with DMV on behalf of car buyers. When buying a car, there are charges in addition to those listed above, such as title fees and dealer processing charges. To order new plates from DMV more than 120 days before a vehicle’s stickers expire, customers need to fill out an Application for Registration, Renewal, Replacement, or Transfer of Plates and/or Stickers, Form 268. Customers can get this form at their JOBS IN THE FOREST PRODUCTS INDUSTRY Production workers wanted for entry level sawmill positions Lumber is our business - since 1971 local DMV office to apply for the plate in person, or they can save a trip to DMV by downloading it at OregonDMV. com and apply online or by mailing in the application and fees.
