Bureaucrats are struggling to loosen mask mandates
If you choose to drop by your local Oregon DMV office to see if you can get standby service, many offices have a modern version of “take a number†– a “virtual lobby†that will text you when your turn at the counter is coming up. The DMV says people are to wait in your car or nearby the DMV.
“If you visit without an appointment, there is a chance the office won’t have the capacity to serve all customers that day, and you may need to visit another day,†DMV Administrator Amy Joyce said. “That’s why we recommend appointments – to save you from waiting with no guarantee that office has capacity that day.â€
When COVID-19 restrictions end this week, no later than June 30, DMV offices will no longer require masks or physical distancing, or pandemic-related capacity limits on indoor waiting areas.
However, it seems that the
Oregon DMV will continue to require masks during drive tests for both customers and drive test examiners.
Some DMV services require an in-person visit – such as issuance of your first Oregon permit or license, testing, or adding the Real ID option or a motorcycle endorsement, and the demand for those services remain very high. There are
some services available online.
