Summarize with

Oregon DMV is relocating an express kiosk from a Fred Meyer store in Oak Grove to its Grants Pass field office to compare how customers use self-service technology in a government office versus a grocery store, according to a Grants Pass Tribune report. The kiosk will allow customers to renew vehicle registrations, print registration copies and replace registration cards and license plate stickers without waiting for counter service.

The machine offers instructions in English and Spanish and prints documents and stickers immediately. It accepts credit cards, debit cards and contactless payments, including Apple Pay, Google Pay and Samsung Pay, but does not accept cash. Customers will pay a $4.95 vendor fee in addition to applicable DMV charges, and the agency said it does not receive any portion of that fee.

The kiosk will be available during office hours at 162 NE Beacon Drive, Suite 127. It will not issue driver's licenses or identification cards, and vehicles requiring emissions testing must pass before their registrations can be renewed. Oregon DMV began installing express kiosks in Fred Meyer stores in December 2024, but it has not announced an opening date for the Grants Pass machine or a timetable for evaluating the pilot.
