Update the Oregon DMV address after the move

After the destination registration is active, update the address on the Oregon DMV record within 30 days, online or by phone. Oregon does not automatically send a new registration card after an address change, so write the new address on the existing card or request a replacement if you need one. Keep the update confirmation with the new registration.

Build the Oregon response plan

Oregon tests coverage on one specified date. Answer that date before the registration moves into suspension. Prepare the evidence, record the response, and check the final status.
