Fillable Form Oregon Driver's License Renewal

What is the Oregon Driver’s License Renewal form?

Form 735-173, Application for Driving Privileges or ID Card, or the Oregon Driver’s License Renewal form, is a Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) form residents of Oregon can use to renew their driver’s license. Aside from its use as a renewal form, it is also used to apply for a new and replacement driver’s license.

Before using the Oregon Driver’s License Renewal form, you need to make sure that your license is not expired for more than one year. If your driver’s license has been expired for more than one year, you will need to apply for a new one. Applying for a new driver’s license means you need to pay the original fees and retake driving tests.

If you have been serving in the military, you can renew your license for six months after discharge.

Oregon driver’s license is valid for eight years. In general, the Oregon DMV will send you a renewal reminder exactly two months before the expiration date of your license. Therefore, you need to maintain your address updated with the Oregon DMV.
