(1) Before DMV will issue a driver permit or driver license, the applicant for the driver permit or driver license must:
(2) Once an applicant has applied for a driver license or driver permit, DMV will make an inquiry to NDR/PDPS, SPEXS and S2S to determine if the applicant's driving privileges are suspended, revoked, canceled or otherwise not valid in any other jurisdiction.
(3) DMV may require the applicant to provide a clearance letter in compliance with OAR 735-062-0160, indicating the applicant has valid driving privileges from any jurisdiction in which an inquiry to NDR/PDPS, SPEXS and S2S indicates the applicant's driving privilege is not fully valid.
(4) DMV will not issue driving privileges to an applicant until the applicant's driving privileges are reinstated in all jurisdictions, unless the only remaining reinstatement requirement in the other jurisdiction is proof of financial responsibility. Nothing in this section prohibits DMV from issuing a regular Class C driver license to an applicant whose commercial driving privileges are not valid as long as the applicant's regular Class C or equivalent driving privileges are valid.
(5) DMV will not issue a driver license or driver permit to an applicant with a current, valid Oregon identification card (ID card). To become eligible, the applicant must surrender the ID card before DMV may issue the Oregon driver license or driver permit. If the person's ID card is lost or destroyed, the person must make a statement that the card is lost or destroyed and that it will be returned to DMV if found.
(6) DMV will notify all jurisdictions in the United States identified as previously issuing a driver license, driver permit or identification card to the applicant when DMV issues an Oregon driver license or driver permit to the applicant.

(8) After determining that an applicant has met all requirements under this rule, DMV will issue the driver license or driver permit and mail it to the address provided by the applicant at the time of the application.
(9) An Oregon non-commercial driver license or driver permit becomes invalid when the holder of the Oregon driver license or driver permit is issued a driver license, driver permit or identification card in another jurisdiction.
