A Brief History of Oregon License Plates
Oregon automobile owners were required to first start displaying license plates on their vehicles in 1905 however, they had to provide their own license plates for the rear of the vehicle only. In 1911 the state started to issue license plates to automobile owners and are today required on both the front and rear of the car, truck, van or SUV. Motorcycles are the exception where plates are only required on the rear of the vehicle

I have a late 60’s vehicle, and I have a set of plates for the time period between 1965- 1973 (blue field with gold letters) I do not know what car/truck they were originally assigned. Is it possible to get these plates assigned to my vehicle?

Josh, unfortunately in the state of Oregon this is not a valid reason to perform an Oregon license plate search though our resources. You might consider reporting this incident to the police if there was any damage cause by this other vehicle
Oregon license plate number? It was a light blue sports car in the parking lot of the Clackamas Mall about 2:15 pm on Sat. Aug. 21st 2021. It revved its engine right near me and bothered me very much. I would like to file an insurance claim.

The tag number is L 301431 exp. is 2-23 Maybe you can find the person so his or her plate can be returned to the owner. Should I return it to dmv office? I live in Roseburg. Thankyou….

Sonja, we appreciate you reaching out about our Oregon license plate lookup blog. It’s uncertain how we can assist you with this matter. Was there a specific question you had for us?
This vehicle was apparently reported stolen, the police through our neighbors came to investigate and notified the owner the vehicle had been located and closed the stolen vehicle report. I called police tonight as I happened upon the vehicle and two parties were stripping it of tires and ….. it is now tire less and a nuisance. When I notified police again the 911 operator said the owner lived nearby and it was their problem now. I got to wondering why someone would report a vehicle stolen and then not pick it up when found. Perhaps they are in the process of trying to defraud their insurance, as one thought. Perhaps they notified folks it was available for stripping to further their case. Not sure but none of it makes sense and we are not a neighborhood where vehicles are typically stripped. The insurance company would probably be interested in the details if they are in the position of paying a loss. The neighborhood is now stuck with a nuisance and it will cost one of us or the city to tow the now disabled vehicle.
Unfortunately we cannot assist you with a license plate search based on the reasons you’ve provided. In order to use our license plate or vehicle record resources you must read and agree to the terms and conditions of use. That being said, you can contact the police and inquire about having this vehicle removed, another option is to leave a note to the owner letting them know your intentions.
I have a car that is parked on my property, and I am trying to ascertain the owner. I have a pretty solid guess as to who it belongs to, but I want to check before having it towed (this person has been down on their luck and I don’t want to add to their stress, if possible). I know I can go through the DMV but I don’t think they would approve my request, and it costs money. Any help would be amazing. Thank you for any info or advice.
In this scenario your best option would be to contact the state of Oregon or hire a lawyer to sort things out with your Oregon Blazer with the license plate number you mentioned. We are a public record website and do not have an affiliation with the state of Oregon
My 1985 Blazer plate number 895KEV was stolen and towed and impounded. My Oregon State taxes were seized to pay impound and storage. The auto was stolen. How do I get my taxes returned to me?

Hello Michael,
I looked up the Oregon license plate number in our database and couldn’t find any information about your vehicle history. We can only run complete Oregon license plate numbers so if it’s incomplete our resources won’t be able to track down the information you’ve requested. If you have a VIN number we can also lookup the vehicle history with a VIN search. That being said you can check with the Oregon DMV and see if they can assist you further. I have included a link to their website below.

Hi,i recently bought a 1978 red f250 pick up truck here in England. With the vehicle I have much history and can track it back to Portland, Oregon I believe. The licence plate was yellow. Its number was:- HS 997. I am attempting to put the trucks history together upto the point it came over here 3 or 4 years ago. I am doing this for my own interest,i am more than happy to meet any cost. If this is something you can’t help with perhaps you could point me in the correct direction. I would love to track previous owners for photographs, any paper work e.t.c..Many thanks M. Pyke
