When moving from Virginia to Oregon, you must register your vehicle within 30 days of establishing residency. You must also transfer your driver's license within 30 days. Plan to visit the Oregon DMV promptly after your move.

Registering your vehicle in Oregon costs $122-$306 (biennial) based on MPG. Title transfer fee is $98.50 (title transfer is required). Vehicle sales/use tax is 0.5% privilege tax (new vehicles only; no general sales tax). Budget for these costs before your move.

Oregon requires emissions testing: Portland metro and Medford area biennial. No recurring safety inspection is required. Check if your specific county requires testing.

Oregon requires minimum liability insurance of 25/50/20 (bodily injury per person / per accident / property damage, in thousands). Your current Virginia minimums are 50/100/25. You must update your insurance to meet Oregon requirements before registering.

Oregon requires both front and rear plates (Virginia requires front and rear). Surrender out-of-state plates; new OR plates issued. You will need to surrender your Virginia plates and obtain new Oregon plates.
