OR HB3623

Requires proof of lawful U.S. status before the Oregon Department of Transportation can issue, renew, or replace noncommercial driver licenses, driver permits, or identification cards, effective January 1, 2026

Allows members of federally recognized Indian tribes located in Oregon or with Oregon affiliation to submit tribal identification cards as proof of lawful status if DMV determines the card issuance procedures are sufficient

Creates a 90-day temporary permit or ID card option for applicants who meet all other requirements but cannot yet produce lawful status documentation, with extensions available up to two additional 90-day periods

Exempts Real ID, commercial driver licenses, and commercial learner permits from the new requirements, as these already require proof of lawful status under existing law

Grandfathers existing license and ID card holders, who will not need to provide proof of lawful status until their current document expires or they request an early replacement
