Long

Typically long lines at the Klamath Falls DMV office could be
even longer than usual Monday because of high interest in brand
new Crater Lake plates.
Crater Lake Centennial license plates, which feature the lake
and Wizard Island, go on sale at Driver and Motor Vehicle
Services offices throughout the state, including Klamath Falls
and Lakeview.
"I expect the line-up will begin at 7," said Deena Rutledge,
office manager for the Klamath Falls DMV office, which will open
at 8 a.m. "We're expecting quite a large turn-out. It will be
interesting to see who's in the door first."
The Klamath Falls office will have the lowest numbered regular
plates, beginning at 1001. Originally the office was sent 100
plates, but Rutledge said a call to DMV offices in Salem helped
to get several more boxes.
"We're
stocked pretty good for at least a few weeks."
Rutledge said people can speed up the process by picking up
license plate replacement forms — Form 268 — from the office's
drive-through window and having those filled out on Monday.
Copies of the form are also available over the Internet at the
DMV Web site at www.oregondmv.com.
The plates will be available for passenger cars and motor homes,
including custom and amateur radio operator configurations, and
travel trailers. Profits from sales of plates will be designated
for the Crater Lake National, including the park's developing
science and learning center.
Cost for the license plates vary from $33 to $83 according to
various factors.
