A behind-the-wheel test will increase from $9 to $45. Other fees are going up by a dollar or two.

Michelle Godfrey is a spokesperson for the Oregon DMV.

“Most DMV fee increases over the last 20 years have gone to transportation projects at the city, county and state levels and not to DMV operating costs,” Godfrey said. “So, these fee increases were really necessary to do in order to keep our fees in line with the actual cost to deliver services.”

Godfrey encourages people to use the DMV’s website for more of their transactions. She said things like registration renewal are easily done online instead of in person.
