Oregon Driver Record Request Form (Form 7226)

DMV is required by Oregon law to maintain vehicle and driver records. The majority of these are considered public records and are available, via various manual and automated methods, by making a request and paying a fee. However, there are laws and circumstances that prohibit certain information contained within DMV records from being disclosed.

How do I order my own record?
You can order your own record with an Order Your Own Record, Form 7266.  Records are mailed to you at your address shown on DMV's computer unless you indicate otherwise. If you want records faxed or mailed to an address other than your address on DMV's record, you must include enough information in your request for DMV to verify your identity, such as: date of birth, place of birth, address of record, mother's maiden name, etc. If you are requesting a record that contains another person's personal information as well as your own (such as a title history or odometer history), your personal information will appear on the record but the other person's will not.
 
   Your request must include:

1. A written request or a completed Order Your Own Record, Form7266, that includes;
2. The type of record you are requesting (refer to the DMV Records Fee List for more information);
3. Enough information for DMV to locate the correct record:
   • For vehicle records this includes vehicle identification number, plate number and owner information;
   • For driver records this includes name, date of birth, address, and driver license number;
4. The address you want the record mailed to;
5. Payment of the applicable fees by check or money-order payable to "Oregon DMV" (refer to the DMV Records Fee List  for more information); and
6. If you indicate in your request that you want to pick the record up at DMV Headquarters in Salem, include your daytime phone number and you will need to provide proof of your identity at the time you pick-up the record; or
7. If your record is to be mailed, you must provide enough information in your request for DMV to verify your identity, such as date of birth, place of birth, address of record, mother's maiden name, etc.

    Mail your request and fee to:

Oregon DMV

How will I receive records I have ordered?

Records will be mailed unless you make arrangements to pick them up at DMV Headquarters in Salem. You should indicate this at the time the record is ordered. Please include a daytime phone number in your request. You will be required to provide proof of your identity when picking up records. If you plan on picking up records for someone else, you must present a notarized permission slip and your identification. A parent or guardian of a minor child will be required to prove that relationship.

 
Who can order records at a DMV Office?
Record information available at DMV Offices is limited. Most requests must be ordered from DMV Headquarters  in Salem. When requesting personal information at DMV Offices, you must provide proof of your identity. 
 
DMV Offices can order records for customers under the following conditions:

• A person can order their own record.
• A parent or guardian of a minor (not emancipated) can order the child's records.
• A person with a notarized power of attorney or notarized permission slip can order records of the person who signed the power of attorney or permission slip (businesses cannot use this method to request records).
• Anyone can order a record for another person as long as the record is mailed to the address on record for the person whose record you are ordering.

Can I order a record containing someone else's personal information?
If you are requesting a record that contains someone else's personal information (name, address, telephone number, and driver license, driver permit, or identification card number) as well as your own, (such as a vehicle title history) you must use a Request for Information Form 7122.  If you do not qualify to receive personal information you will be sent a 'sanitized' copy of the record. A sanitized record will not contain any personal information other than your own.
