OAR 735-010-0010: Exclusions From and Requirements to Obtain a Public Record

(1) DMV will not disclose confidential information except as provided by law. (2) DMV will only disclose personal information, as defined in OAR 735-010-0008, if the record is ordered by the individual whose record it is or if the person ordering the record qualifies to receive personal information. Otherwise the record will be sanitized with the personal information removed. (3) Fees for records must be paid in advance or billed to an account, except: (a) If a fee is not set by law, DMV reserves the right to waive a charge for records when the cost to collect the fee would be more than the cost to provide a record; (b) DMV may provide information without charge on an exchange basis, to other states, federal agencies, or appropriate designee, or motor vehicles associations if DMV, in turn, is not charged for information it receives; or (c) DMV will accept a purchase order number if the purchaser is a government agency. (4) A request for a public record must allow DMV a reasonable period of time to provide the record so that DMV’s activities or operations are not unduly disrupted.
