The U.S. state of Oregon first required its residents to register their motor vehicles in 1905. Registrants had to provide their own license plates for display until 1911, when the state began to supply plates.

1950 to present
In 1956, the U.S. states and Canadian provinces came to an agreement with the American Association of Motor Vehicle Administrators, the Automobile Manufacturers Association and the National Safety Council that standardized the size for license plates for vehicles (except those for motorcycles) at 6 inches (15 cm) in height by 12 inches (30 cm) in width, with standardized mounting holes. The 1955 (dated 1956) issue was the first Oregon license plate that complied with these standards.
All plates from 1955 until present are still valid, provided they are displayed on the vehicle to which they were originally issued.
