Residents of Astoria can once again access services at their local DMV office. After a temporary hiatus owing to an unwelcome flood, the DMV on Marine Drive is back in business. This is a simple, no-fuss heads-up to all those who've had to hold off on their driving-related chores—the doors swung open on December 23, according to an Oregon Department of Transportation bulletin.
Not all misfortunes come to hinder; sometimes, they remind us to efficiently adapt. The forced closure began on December 12 when a broken water line decided to take the office out of action. Now, having weathered the storm, the Astoria DMV has resumed offering all its regular services. A boon for those who prefer the in-person touch over online dealings.
The online world, however, remains at your fingertips—providing a slate of options for the more digitally inclined. DMV2U offers over 30 services that you can easily take advantage of without setting foot outside. This includes those who resorted to it out of necessity during the closure, as noted by the Oregon DOT announcement.
