All DMV offices will be closed Friday

Oregon Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) Headquarters and all local field offices will be closed Friday.

The closure is the sixth of 10 statewide mandatory unpaid furlough days for state employees scheduled for the 2011-13 budget period.

Customer waiting times tend to be longer on the days just before and after office closures, so DMV suggests that customers try to do business by mail or online, if possible, or plan their visits to DMV before Thursday or after Monday.

People also can do some business with DMV online any time. Online DMV services include most passenger vehicle registration renewals, changes of address, and notice of vehicle sale.

To access DMVs online services go to www.OregonDMV.com/online.

DMV offices will reopen on their regularly scheduled days and times after the furlough day. For a complete list of DMV offices and their business hours, go to www.OregonDMV.com.

The next statewide furlough is scheduled for Nov. 23, the Friday after Thanksgiving.
