Is the Oregon DMV open on weekends?

No. All 60 DMV offices are closed on Saturdays, Sundays and state holidays, and some keep shorter hours or open only on certain days. Even when the Oregon DMV isn't open on weekends, you can still take the knowledge test online or use DMV2U for several services.

What can you do on weekends when the Oregon DMV isn't open?

These all work online, at any time:

  • Take the Class C or motorcycle knowledge test at home
  • Book, change or cancel an office appointment
  • Replace a lost license or permit, or change your address
  • Renew your license, if you qualify for online renewal

Office hours

DMV doesn't post one set of hours for every office, because some have non-standard hours. Check the office's own page before you go. If you're taking the knowledge test, get there at least an hour before closing, when testing stops.

Where the offices are

DMV's 60 offices run from Albany to Woodburn, including Beaverton, Bend, Eugene, Grants Pass, Gresham, Hillsboro, Medford, Ontario, Salem and several in Portland. A few small towns, like Condon and Heppner, have offices too. Not every office gives drive tests.

Who runs Oregon's DMV

Oregon DMV stands for Driver & Motor Vehicle Services, a division of the Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT). It handles both driver licenses and vehicle titles and registration. People sometimes search for an Oregon department of licensing or DPS. Neither exists for drivers here; DMV handles it all.
