OAR 735-064-0080. How the Hardship Permit Is Issued

(1) DMV will mail a hardship permit to the address the applicant submitted on the applicant's hardship permit application, or DMV may print a hardship permit for the applicant at any DMV office, when all of the documents are received by DMV and a hardship permit is approved. (2) A replacement license is included in the fee for the hardship driver permit application imposed under ORS 807.370(1)(L). The applicant must apply for and pay the applicable driver license renewal or original issuance fee set forth in ORS 807.370 to renew a driver license or to be issued an original driver license. (3) A Real ID issued under this section shall be subject to any fee imposed under ORS 807.460. (4) The hardship permit will contain specific restrictions applicable to the applicant. The person must carry the hardship permit in addition to a valid driver license at all times while driving. (5) Notwithstanding OAR 735-064-0110, a hardship permit is valid until one of the following occurs, whichever comes first: (a) The end date of the suspension or revocation, if the permit holder was eligible for a hardship permit as provided in OAR 735-064-0040(1)(a); (b) The date the permit holder provides proof of treatment or is no longer required to provide proof of treatment to DMV under ORS 813.022, if the permit holder was eligible for a hardship permit as provided in OAR 735-064-0040(1)(b); (c) The date the permit holder is no longer required to install and use an IID on any vehicle the person operates, if the permit holder was eligible for a hardship permit as provided in OAR 735-064-0040(1)(b); (d) The end date of the hardship permit, if the permit was issued for the purposes of seeking employment under OAR 735-064-0060(5); or (e) The expiration date of the person’s driver license. (6) A hardship permit holder must pay a renewal fee to extend the expiration date of a hardship permit. The fee upon renewal of a hardship driver permit is the same fee as that charged for renewal of a driver license under ORS 807.370(5)(a). (7) If a hardship permit holder is renewing a driver license and the person’s hardship permit is valid until the expiration date of the person’s driver license as provided in section (5) of this rule, DMV will charge one renewal fee for the driver license to renew both the driver license and the hardship permit.
