(a) Satisfy all requirements set forth in ORS 807.040 (Requirements for issuance) and 807.060 (Eligibility)(2)(a) if under the age of 18. For purposes of ORS 807.060 (Eligibility) and this subsection:

(A) “Mother” means the biological or adoptive mother of the applicant, whose parental rights have not been terminated;

(B) “Father” means the biological or adoptive father of the applicant, whose parental rights have not been terminated; and

(C) “Legal guardian” means an individual, or the authorized representative of an entity, private or public institution or agency appointed as guardian of the applicant by a court having jurisdiction.

(b) Satisfy all requirements set forth in ORS 807.065 (Additional eligibility requirements for persons under 18 years of age) and 807.066 (School requirements for persons under 18 years of age) to receive a driver license (provisional) if under 18 years of age;

(c) Provide a verifiable SSN or a statement that the person has not been assigned a SSN as provided in OAR 735-062-0005 (SSN — Requirements for Collection and Verification of SSN or a Statement No SSN Assigned);(d) Submit to the collection of biometric data for the purpose of establishing identity as provided in ORS 807.024 (Collection of biometric data) and OAR 735-062-0016 (Requirements for Establishing Identity Under ORS 807.024 and Consequences of Applicant’s Failure to Establish Identity);

(d) Provide proof of the person’s identity and date of birth as provided in OAR 735-062-0020 (Proof of Identity and Date of Birth Requirements);

(e) Provide proof of the person’s residence address as provided in OAR 735-062-0030 (Proof of Residence Address);

(g) Surrender all driver permits, driver licenses and identification cards in the person’s possession issued outside of Oregon.

(2) An applicant is not eligible for driving privileges under ORS 807.060 (Eligibility)(4) or (5) and DMV will not issue or renew driving privileges or replace a driver license or driver permit if the applicant applying for driving privileges:

(a) Answers yes to the question “Do you have a vision condition or impairment that has not been corrected by glasses, contacts or surgery that affects your ability to drive safely?” and the person is unable to pass a DMV vision screening;

(b) Answers yes to the question “Do you have any physical or mental conditions or impairments that affect your ability to drive safely?”

(c) Answers yes to the question “Do you use alcohol, inhalants, or controlled substances to a degree that affects your ability to drive safely?”

(3) An applicant who is denied issuance or renewal of driving privileges or replacement of a driver license or driver permit under section (2) of this rule will be allowed to establish or reestablish eligibility by passing DMV examinations under ORS 807.070 (Examinations), by getting a determination of eligibility from the Medical Determination Officer under 807.090 (Establishing eligibility notwithstanding mental or physical condition or impairment) or both, as determined by DMV. The requirement may be waived if DMV determines the safety questions under section (2)(a)-(c) of this rule were answered in error and the applicant is eligible for driving privileges.

(4) Once an applicant has applied for a driver license or driver permit, DMV will make an inquiry to NDR/PDPS and SPEXS to determine if the applicant’s driving privileges are suspended, revoked, canceled or otherwise not valid in any other jurisdiction.

(5) DMV may require the applicant to provide a clearance letter in compliance with OAR 735-062-0160 (Clearance Letter), indicating the applicant has valid driving privileges from any jurisdiction in which an inquiry to NDR/PDPS and SPEXS indicates the applicant’s driving privilege is not fully valid.

(6) DMV will not issue driving privileges to an applicant until the applicant’s driving privileges are reinstated in all jurisdictions, unless the only remaining reinstatement requirement in the other jurisdiction is proof of financial responsibility. Nothing in this section prohibits DMV from issuing a regular Class C driver license to an applicant whose commercial driving privileges are not valid as long as the applicant’s regular Class C or equivalent driving privileges are valid.

(7) DMV will not issue a driver license or driver permit to an applicant with a current, valid Oregon identification card (ID card). To become eligible, the applicant must surrender the ID card before DMV may issue the Oregon driver license or driver permit. If the person’s ID card is lost or destroyed, the person must make a statement that the card is lost or destroyed and that it will be returned to DMV if found.

(8) A driver license issued to an applicant with a February 29 birthdate expires:

(a) On February 29 if the expiration year is a leap year; or

(b) On February 28 if the expiration year is not a leap year.

(9) After determining that an applicant has met all requirements under this rule, DMV will issue the license or driver permit and mail it to the address provided by the applicant at the time of the application.
