DMV/DOC Program
for an Inmate Obtaining a Driver License or Identification Card Prior to Release
(1) The Oregon Department of Transportation,
Driver and Motor Vehicle Services Division (DMV) and the Oregon Department of Corrections
(DOC) have established, through interagency agreement, the following program to
help an inmate obtain a driver license or identification card prior to his or her
release from custody.
(2) For purposes of this
rule, the term “inmate” means any person under the supervision of the
DOC and who is not on parole, probation or post-prison supervision status.
(3) Notwithstanding OAR 735-062-0016,
DMV may issue a renewal or replacement driver license or an identification card
containing the last photograph of the inmate on file with DMV. The photograph on
file must not be older than nine years and two months. DMV will issue as follows:
(a) A replacement driver
license to an inmate whose driving privileges are valid or are reinstated at the
time of issuance;
(b) A renewal driver license
to an inmate whose driving privileges are valid or are reinstated at the time of
issuance and whose driver license is within the allotted time for early renewal
as described in OAR 735-062-0090(4) or has been expired for less than one year;
or
(c) An original, renewal
or replacement identification card to an inmate:
(A) Who is not eligible for
driving privileges under sections (4), (7) or (8) of this rule;
(B) Whose previous driver
license has been expired for more than one year;
(C) Whose driving privileges
are suspended, revoked or cancelled; or
(D) Who has never been issued
or does not currently qualify for a driver license under ORS 807.040.
(4) DMV will make an inquiry
to the National Driver Register/Problem Driver Pointer System (NDR/PDPS) and the
Commercial Driver License Information System (CDLIS), to determine if the inmate’s
driving privileges are suspended, revoked, cancelled or otherwise not valid in any
other jurisdiction. An inmate whose driving privileges are not valid in any other
jurisdiction is not eligible to replace or renew driving privileges in Oregon.
(5) DOC may complete an application
packet for each eligible inmate within no more than 180 days prior to the inmate’s
date of release from DOC custody. The application packet must include:
(a) A completed Valid with
Previous Photo DL/ID Card (VWPP) Application, DMV Form 735-171C, signed by the inmate.
The application must include the inmate’s Social Security Number (SSN). DMV
must verify, or have previously verified, the SSN with the Social Security Administration,
as required by OAR 735-062-0005;
(b) Proof of legal name as
required by OAR 735-062-0014;
(c) Proof of legal presence
as required by OAR 735-062-0015 and the interagency agreement; and
(d) Proof of date of birth
and identity as required by OAR 735-062-0020.
(6) On the application DOC
must certify:
(a) That the copies of the
documents submitted to meet the requirements of section (5) of this rule are true
copies of the original documents and that the documents pertain to the inmate for
whom DOC is submitting the VWPP application; and
(b) That the inmate will
be living in Oregon when released and the address provided on the application meets
the requirements for residence or mailing address as outlined in the interagency
agreement.
(7) An inmate is not eligible
for driving privileges, under ORS 807.060(4) or (5), and DMV will not replace or
renew a driver license, if on the VWPP Application the inmate:
(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?”;
(b) Answers yes to the question
“Do you have any physical or mental conditions or impairments that affect
your ability to drive safely?”; or
(c) Answers yes to the question
“Do you use alcohol, inhalants, or controlled substances to a degree that
affects your ability to drive safely?”
(8) An inmate who is eligible
to renew his or her driving privileges, and is or will be 50 years of age or older
at the time his or her driving privileges expire, must meet the requirements of
OAR 735-062-0060. As the inmate will not be at a DMV field office for the vision
screening, DOC must provide a vision examination form, Certificate of Vision, DMV
Form 735-24, completed by a licensed ophthalmologist or optometrist with the VWPP
application. If no Certificate of Vision form is included or the inmate does not
meet the vision standards set forth in 735-062-0050, the inmate is only eligible
for an identification card.
(9) When an inmate’s
driving privileges are valid (not suspended, revoked, cancelled or expired more
than one year) the inmate must surrender driving privileges in order to be eligible
for an identification card. A completed Surrender of Driving Privilege(s), DMV Form
735-7206, must be included with the VWPP application of any inmate who is surrendering
driving privileges. A person who surrenders driving privileges must pass all tests
and pay all fees associated with an original driver license to regain driving privileges
at a later date.
(10) DOC will pay the fee
listed in ORS 807.370 or 807.410, as appropriate, for each inmate issued a driver
license or identification card in a manner outlined in the interagency agreement.
(11) When an inmate’s
driver license or identification card issued pursuant to this rule is renewed or
replaced, he or she must provide proof of citizenship or permanent legal residency
as required by OAR 735-062-0015, unless DMV records show the person has previously
provided such proof.
