What Oregon DMV Charges for Driver's Licenses and ID Cards

Oregon charges different fees depending on what you need. A standard five-year driver's license costs $68. A Real ID-compliant driver's license, which meets federal requirements for air travel and federal building access, costs $78. An Oregon ID card (for people who do not drive) costs $58 for five years. These prices do not change based on where you renew — online, by mail, or in person at a DMV office.

If you need a replacement license because yours was lost, stolen, or damaged, Oregon charges $20 for a duplicate. A name change on your license costs $20. Changing your address costs nothing if you do it online through the DMV website, but costs $20 if you do it in person or by mail.

Key Takeaways

  • A standard five-year Oregon driver's license costs $68; a Real ID version costs $78.
  • Duplicate licenses, name changes, and address changes by mail or in person each cost $20, but address changes are free online.
  • Commercial driver's licenses have separate fees that depend on the class and endorsements you need.
  • Oregon accepts cash, check, debit card, and credit card at DMV offices, but online and mail renewals have different payment methods.
  • Fees do not vary by county or DMV office location.

Commercial Driver's License Fees

A commercial driver's license (CDL) in Oregon costs $100 for a five-year license. If you need a CDL with hazmat endorsement, add $15. Passenger endorsement costs $10. Tank vehicle endorsement costs $10. Double/triple trailer endorsement costs $10. You can stack multiple endorsements, so the total depends on what you need.

A CDL duplicate costs $20, the same as a standard license duplicate. If you are renewing a CDL that is still valid, you can renew online or by mail at the same $100 base price, though you will need to pass a written test if your endorsements require it.

Motorcycle Endorsement and Renewal Fees

Adding a motorcycle endorsement to an Oregon driver's license costs $10. If you already have a motorcycle endorsement and are renewing your license, the endorsement fee is included in the standard license renewal price ($68 for standard, $78 for Real ID). You do not pay the $10 endorsement fee again unless you are adding it for the first time.

A motorcycle-only license (if you do not have a regular driver's license) costs $68 for five years. A duplicate motorcycle endorsement or license costs $20.

Vehicle Registration and Title Fees

Oregon vehicle registration fees depend on your vehicle's weight and type. A passenger car typically costs between $80 and $120 per year. Trucks, motorcycles, and recreational vehicles have different rates. Oregon publishes a fee schedule on the DMV website organized by vehicle class and weight range.

A vehicle title costs $20 when you first register a vehicle in Oregon. Transferring a title to a new owner costs $20. Replacing a lost or damaged title costs $20. Adding or removing a name from a title costs $20. These are one-time fees per transaction, not annual charges.

How to Pay Oregon DMV Fees

At an Oregon DMV office, you can pay with cash, check, debit card, or credit card. Online renewals through the DMV website accept debit and credit cards only. Mail-in renewals require a check or money order — do not send cash by mail.

If you are paying by check or money order, make it out to "Oregon DMV" and include it with your process. If you pay in person at a DMV office and your check is declined, you will be asked to provide another form of payment before your transaction is complete. Online payments are processed when ready, and you will receive a confirmation number.

Senior and Disabled Driver Discounts

Oregon does not offer a reduced fee for drivers over 65 or for people with disabilities. All drivers pay the same renewal and replacement fees regardless of age or disability status. However, some DMV services may be available by mail or online if you have difficulty visiting an office in person.

If you need accommodations at a DMV office — such as a wheelchair-accessible location, an interpreter, or extra time — contact the DMV ahead of your visit. Oregon DMV offices are required to provide reasonable accommodations under state and federal law.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I have to pay the Real ID fee if I already have a standard license?

No. Your current standard license remains valid. You only pay the $10 difference ($78 minus $68) if you choose to upgrade to Real ID when you renew. You are not required to upgrade unless your state job or federal agency requires it.

What happens if I renew my license online but need to add an endorsement?

You cannot add a new endorsement online. You must visit a DMV office in person or explore by mail. Endorsements require a written test or skills test, which cannot be done remotely. The fee for adding an endorsement is $10 (or $15 for hazmat on a CDL).

Can I get a refund if I paid the wrong fee?

If you overpaid, Oregon DMV will issue a refund. Contact the DMV office where you paid or call the main DMV line to request one. Refunds typically take two to four weeks if mailed. If you underpaid, your transaction will not be processed until the correct amount is received.

Are there fees for changing my address online?

No. Changing your address through the Oregon DMV website is free. You only pay $20 if you change your address in person at a DMV office or by mail. Online address changes take effect when ready and do not require a new license.

What is the fee for a Real ID if I have never had one before?

A new Real ID driver's license costs $78. This is the same price whether you are getting your first license or upgrading from a standard license. The fee covers the five-year validity period.
