PORTLAND, Ore. — The Transportation and Safety Administration (TSA) says any driver's license or state-issued ID expired on or after March 1, 2020, that you are unable to renew because of the coronavirus outbreak, can still be used as acceptable identification at a checkpoint.
TSA says it will accept expired driver’s licenses or state-issued ID a year after expiration or 60 days after the duration of the COVID-19 national emergency, whichever is longer.
For Oregonians, most DMV’s are open, but there are lots of changes. Offices now limit entry to 10 customers at a time. The smallest offices further limit the number of customers, and due to staffing and illness, smaller offices may even close from time to time.
If your license, registration or trip permit has recently expired there's now a ‘grace period’ - enforcement is at the discretion of police who most likely will not be ticketing drivers for such offenses.
The COVID-19 outbreak has also shifted the REAL ID enforcement deadline to October 1, 2021, a year past the current deadline, according to the U.S. Department of Homeland Security.
