Plain-English Summary

Review of a final order of the Driver and Motor Vehicle Services Branch of the Oregon Department of Transportation starts with a petition filed with the trial court administrator. Copies of that petition must be served on the DMV and on the Attorney General, so both the agency that issued the order and the lawyers who will defend it learn about the case at the same time.

The petition as filed must contain a certificate of service showing that those copies went out. The petition, both as filed and as served, must be accompanied by a copy of the final DMV order from which the appeal is taken. The court then has the order in front of it from the first day of the case.

The address you list for the Attorney General in that certificate of service carries forward. A later filing in this chapter is served at the address shown there, so get it right at the outset rather than correcting it under deadline pressure.
