As per Judge’s order; if a citation is in the suspension status, payment in full is REQUIRED in order to remove the suspension hold from your driving record. When the citation is paid in full, a clearance letter is sent to the Oregon Driver & Motor Vehicle Services (DMV) Suspensions Unit to request a clearance of the suspension. The average Court processing time is 1 week – 2 weeks for the driving record to reflect the clearance of suspension. Municipal Court does not provide clearance letters to individuals and only reports to the Oregon Driver & Motor Vehicle Services (DMV).
Hood River Municipal Court’s procedures are in place to ensure that tax dollars are utilized in the most efficient manner while staff gladly answers procedural questions, staff does not process clearance of suspension holds on demand.

If you fail to appear for a Show Cause Hearing a WARRANT may be issued for your arrest per ORS 153.992.
