WILLAMETTE VALLEY - Starting Sept. 21, Oregon DMV's Corvallis and South Salem offices will no longer require Wednesdays to be appointment only. Instead, the offices are transitioning to a service window model, meaning customers who show up in a field office to a long wait can get help selecting a set window of time to return, potentially later that day or the next.

For guaranteed service at a specific time, Oregon DMV still recommends people make an appointment on DMV2U and bring the correct paperwork.

Both offices previously offered Wednesdays as appointment only as part of a pilot program to help decrease wait times. Since then, several other offices have moved to the service window model and found it to be successful in reducing wait times and improving customer service. Customers appreciate the certainty of knowing they can return at a set time and be served, usually within 15 minutes.

Customers can also check whether they can skip the visit altogether and complete their service on DMV2U, which offers over 30 common transactions 24 hours a day, including license renewals and replacements, vehicle registration, address changes and submitting a collision report. Each person who completes their service online saves a trip to the DMV while freeing up appointment times for others.

Customers who don't have online access or have difficulty with DMV2U scheduling can call DMV Customer Assistance agents at 503-945-5000 for assistance during business hours.
