The Oregon DMV Stayton office located at 11656 Sublimity Road S.E. is closed today due to staffing issues. This closure comes as the May 7 federal REAL ID deadline approaches, resulting in increased demand at many DMV offices across the state.
According to a statement from the Oregon DMV, "Expect longer lines and longer wait times than normal." The department advises visitors at busier locations to inquire about providing their cell numbers for text notifications, allowing them to leave and return when their turn is near.
The upcoming REAL ID requirement affects travelers within the U.S. who are 18 years or older. Those flying after May 7 without a valid passport will need a REAL ID. However, individuals not planning to fly soon can delay obtaining a REAL ID until they renew their credentials or use a passport instead.
For those who do not require a REAL ID, alternative options include completing services online through DMV2U or utilizing one of the self-serve kiosks available.
