OAR 735-076-0010
The Testing Process


(1) If DMV determines a person must reestablish eligibility by taking tests as described in OAR 735-076-0007 (DMV Response to Non-Mandatory Report)(2) or after failing a test voluntarily requested as described in OAR 735-076-0009 (Voluntary Request to Test), DMV will issue a notice to the person that the person must reestablish eligibility by successfully completing DMV’s vision, knowledge and drive tests within 90 days of issuing the notice.
(2) The person may request an extension within 30 days of the date of issuing the notice. DMV may grant an extension, not to exceed 60 additional days, if:
(a) The person is seriously ill or injured and a physician, nurse practitioner or physician assistant requests an extension in writing;
(b) The person is temporarily out of state and a written request is received from the person; or
(c) The person has passed the vision and knowledge tests and the first available appointment for a drive test is after the effective date of the suspension for failure to pass tests.
(3) The person must test in the person’s current license class, unless the person voluntarily chooses to test for a lower class of license.
(4) Before DMV will conduct a drive test, the person must successfully complete all other required tests.
(5) If the person is unable to pass the DMV vision screening, DMV will require the person to have a vision specialist complete a Certificate of Vision form (DMV form 735-024). DMV will only provide a knowledge or drive test if the completed form indicates that the person’s vision meets DMV’s standards as set forth in OAR 735-062-0050 (Eyesight Check Content and Standards).
(6) The waiting periods between knowledge tests are listed in OAR 735-062-0040 (Knowledge Test).
(7) As set forth in OAR 735-062-0073 (Denial of Further Testing), DMV may refuse to continue a drive test if a DMV employee reasonably believes that the person is likely to endanger persons or property while being tested, and further testing may be denied and driving privileges cancelled if DMV determines the person is likely to endanger persons or property during subsequent testing.
