735-062-0135 Voluntary Surrender of Driving Privileges A person may surrender all or part of the driving privileges granted to that person by the State of Oregon, through DMV’s Quit Driving Identification Card program. (1) To surrender all or part of a person’s driving privileges, that person must sign a DMV form and must surrender to DMV any driver license or driver permit issued for the driving privilege. DMV will allow the person to surrender all driving privileges, or part of the driving privileges granted to that person under any class of driver license, endorsement or driver permit. (2) When driving privileges are surrendered, the driving privileges are immediately withdrawn and the person is no longer authorized to operate vehicles pursuant to those driving privileges. A person who surrenders all driving privileges may not exercise any driving privileges, except those granted by statute under ORS 807.020. A person who surrenders part of the person’s driving privileges may exercise only those driving privileges retained. Operation of a vehicle on Oregon highways or premises open to the public without appropriate driving privileges is a violation of law under ORS 807.010. (3) In accordance with OAR 735-062-0010, DMV may issue an identification card to a person who has surrendered all driving privileges. (4) If the person surrenders all driving privileges and declares on DMV form 735-7206 that the person is no longer competent to drive a motor vehicle, DMV will rescind any suspension imposed under OAR 735-074-0140 or 735-076-0020. (5) A person may surrender only part of the driving privileges granted by DMV by canceling any endorsements or driver permits granted to the person. The person must specify those driving privileges the person seeks to surrender. A person who surrenders an endorsement must pay the renewal or replacement license fee for issuance of a license that reflects the driving privileges the person retains. (6) Surrender of driving privileges means the driving privileges are canceled as defined in ORS 801.175(2). When a voluntary surrender of driving privileges is accepted, DMV will cancel driving privileges without providing further notice or an opportunity for hearing to the person. The person’s driving record will show that the driving privileges have been surrendered. (7) A person who seeks to regain surrendered driving privileges must reapply for the privileges and establish eligibility and qualification as provided by law, including payment of all required fees.
