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. To find out more, visit
www.Oregon.gov/REALID.

gon Health Authority
Doing business with
DMV online and by mail
If a service can be accom-
plished by mail or online,
DMV is requiring custom-
ers to use those avenues at
this time.
Find information and in-
structions for how to com-
plete common transac-tions
like titling and registering a
vehicle in Oregon at www.
OregonDMV.com.
DMV never charges for
online forms or a service
fee to use its online services.
People should make sure
they are on the official Or-
egon DMV webpage.
