REDMOND, OR -- Oregon’s Department of Motor Vehicle says the Redmond DMV office will reopen next week, with limited hours. Due to ongoing staffing shortages throughout the department, the Redmond location will open Tuesdays and Thursdays from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., and Wednesdays from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. The office at 3835 SW 21st Place, Suite 101, in Redmond will remain closed Mondays and Fridays.

“We recommend going online to DMV2U more than ever,” DMV Administrator Amy Joyce said in a statement. “Every time you need a DMV service, see if you can get it done at DMV2U.Oregon.gov. We’ve added over two dozen services in the past three years.”

Some services, like adding the Real ID option to your license, must be done in person. Before you go to DMV, make sure your local office is open by visiting OregonDMV.com.

“DMV has been experiencing the same shortage of applicants for job openings as other employers statewide and nationwide,” Joyce said.
