2A | WEDNESDAY, JULY 8, 2020 | SIUSLAW NEWS On The Record DMV begins offering Real ID, new online scheduling service option SALEM — Oregon DMV completed a multi-year project to replace its com- puter systems this past Monday, July 6. The replacement is part of the broader DMV Service Transformation Program — a 10-year, $90 million investment in the future of DMV. Replacing antiquated technology, originally in- stalled in the 1960s and ’70s, was the first step in DMV’s effort to expand online services and explore other modern improvements to the way it does business. “This is a major achieve- ment for our agency and the people who work for DMV. Not many IT projects of this breadth and complexity can claim the success that we’ve accomplished,” said DMV Administrator Tom Mc- Clellan. “Like any successful venture it comes down to careful planning, a laser fo- cus on your goal and a ded- ication to seeing it through to completion.” The initial phase replaced the vehicle-related systems in January 2019 and intro- duced a new online services site — DMV2U. Online ve- hicle transactions included replacing or ordering new plates, an ability to check custom plate availability, ordering trip and sno-park permits and vehicle regis- tration renewals. The final phase replaces driver-re- lated systems and launches more online services. New online services available on DMV2U A host of online services are now available, enabling Oregonians to handle even more of their DMV business from home. Now customers can: • Schedule a DMV ap- pointment • Replace a lost, mutilated or stolen license/ID card • Upload a commercial driver medical examiner certificate • Order a driving record • Pay a reinstatement fee • Begin a driver license or identification card applica- tion for an initial issuance Customers can see all the services DMV offers online by visiting www.oregondmv .com/dmv2u. “Having new technology in place means that DMV is now more nimble. We are able to share information across different parts of the division like never before, creating a more seamless ex- perience for our customers,” McClellan said. Real ID launches Included in the new sys- tem is the capability to issue Real ID-compliant driver licenses and ID cards — a new choice for Oregonians. Starting Oct. 1, 2021, the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) will begin new identification requirements to board a do- mestic commercial aircraft. There are many forms of ID that you can use at airports, like a passport or passport card, so you may already have what you need. If you do choose to get a Real ID compliant card from Oregon DMV, there are some additional docu- ments you need to provide along with an additional $30 fee.
