(1) Before the expiration of any license or a license with an endorsement under the vehicle code, the Department of Transportation shall notify the person to whom the license was issued of the approaching expiration. Within a reasonable time prior to the expiration date, the department shall notify the person to whom the license was issued in the manner determined by the department by rule. (2) The department is not required to notify the person of an approaching expiration if the persons license has been suspended, canceled or revoked or if the person has failed to notify the department of a change of address as required under ORS 807.560. (3) Notwithstanding subsection (1) of this section, the department is not required to notify the person of an approaching expiration if the person received a limited term driver license, limited term commercial driver license, limited term driver permit, limited term commercial learner driver permit or limited term identification card under ORS 807.730 for a period of less than one year. (4) Failure to receive a notice of expiration from the department is not a defense to a charge of driving with an expired license. However, the court may dismiss the charge if the person renews the license before the scheduled court appearance. (5) The departments responsibility to maintain records concerning notice under this section is as provided under ORS 802.210.
