Car Registration and Driver's License When Moving to Oregon

If you are moving to Oregon, you will need to title and register your vehicle and get an Oregon driver's license soon after you become a resident. Below are the steps to follow.

1. Car Registration

A. Registering Your Vehicle

• Timeframe: New residents must title and register their vehicle in Oregon within 30 days of becoming a resident.
• Requirements: At Oregon DMV you will typically need:
  • Your out-of-state title (or lienholder information if the car is financed).
  • A completed Application for Title and Registration.
  • A VIN inspection for vehicles coming from out of state.
  • A DEQ emissions certificate, if you live in an emissions-testing area.
  • Payment for title and registration fees.
• Emissions Testing: Oregon DEQ emissions testing applies in the Portland metro area and the Medford area.

Shipping a car to or from Portland, OR

Portland sits right on I-5, the main road carriers use between California, Oregon and Washington, with I-84 heading east toward Boise and Salt Lake City. That means steady truck traffic in both directions and good availability year-round.

Older neighborhoods are where it gets tricky. In much of inner Portland the streets are narrow, lined with parked cars and big street trees, and a full-size carrier can’t get down them. Drivers usually suggest meeting on a wider street or in a store parking lot close by. Downtown and the Pearl District are similar, so most people meet the truck a few blocks away.

From November through spring it rains a lot, so expect your car to arrive with road spray on it after an open-trailer trip. Dirt can hide small scratches, so take your time on the delivery inspection with the driver, and use a flashlight if it’s getting dark. If you’re moving across the river to Vancouver, WA, that’s a short extra hop for most carriers already on I-5.
