If your driving privileges have been suspended by the
Salem Municipal Court, you will receive a
notice from the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV). You may have it reinstated through one of the following:
- Payment in full. If your license is suspended or is pending suspension you must contact the court directly after paying your case in full.
- See a judge or speak to the violations bureau (located at the front desk/lobby of the Court) to request a payment plan and that the suspension be lifted.
You are responsible for contacting the DMV to request reinstatement of your license. In order for the DMV to reinstate your license, you must get clearance paperwork from the court. You may pick it up in person. These documents are faxed to the DMV at the end of each day. However, the DMV may take up to three business days to process the paperwork after it is received.
The Oregon DMV revokes driving privileges for many reasons and has additional requirements for getting your license reinstated.
The Court does not issue a hardship license. You must call the DMV to discuss this. Additionally, if your license is suspended by other Courts you will need to contact them separately. Resolving a suspension with Salem Municipal Court does not resolve suspensions with other Courts of Law.
