SALEM, OR (KPTV) If you’ve attempted to get an appointment at the DMV in the last year, it’s been a struggle because of their backlog. If you try to schedule one now, it’ll likely be a couple of months before you can get in the door.
“At the highest point, title turnaround, in worst-case scenarios was up to 20 weeks, in the middle of winter. We’ve been getting that down, down, down. It’s down below 15 weeks now. In a typically busy summer, in normal times, 4 or 5 weeks would be the outside. We’re still way outside that. This is an unprecedented backlog,” David House, a DMV spokesman, said.

PORTLAND, Ore. – Out-of-state drivers who move to Oregon have often been shocked and bewildered when they try to get an Oregon driver s license and learn they have to take a written driving test.
Most states don t require the written test for out-of-state drivers, as long as you have a valid license from another state.
Oregon has been a holdout, however, and that requirement is ending on June 5 thanks to a new bill signed by the governor.
