How long do I have to register my car after moving to Oregon?

Within 30 days: Apply for Oregon title and registration within 30 days after becoming a resident. Oregon requires its title before it will issue the registration.Official source 1 ↗ · Official source 2 ↗ · Official source 3 ↗
Start before the deadline: Insurance, inspection, and a lender-held title can delay the registration. Confirm those handoffs before the office visit.
