    The following types of vehicles qualify for custom-built or reconstructed vehicle registration with the Oregon Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV):

    • An automobile with a body that resembles and primarily is a particular model or make of vehicle, and:
    • Has not been rebuilt by a manufacturer
    • Is not built in a factory where year, model, and make are assigned
    • A vehicle that is not a replica
    • A motor truck that has been rebuilt using a component kit, if the kit manufacturer assigns a vehicle identification number (VIN), and provides a Manufacturer's Certificate of Origin (MCO) for the kit

    To obtain registration for a custom-built car or reconstructed vehicle in Oregon, do the following:

    • Record the odometer mileage, if applicable
    • Provide Oregon title or salvage title
    • Have the vehicle emissions tested at DEQ (required for residents of the Portland and Medford areas only
    • Provide a bill of sale for all major reconstructed parts (including body, engine, and kit)
    • Provide proof of insurance if registering the vehicle and at least one current owner is still on the title
    • Provide previous owner's release of interest, which could include:
    • A signature on the back of the title
    • Calculate fees, which may include:
    • Title transaction
    • VIN inspection fee
    • Registration renewal
    • Plate fee or replacement fee

    Next, take the appropriate documents to a regular or full-service DMV location.

    The Oregon DMV does not accept credit or debit cards, but does accept checks with proper identification, and cash machines are available at most Oregon DMV offices.
