do you really want to get an ODL now?
- not sure if an in-person is req'd.

But there are loopholes for a lic. plate:
a vehicle may qualify for Oregon registration even if the owner is not a resident of Oregon or domiciled in Oregon if one or more of the following applies:

* The owner is a business that maintains a main office, branch office or warehouse facility in Oregon and operates motor vehicles in Oregon;
* The vehicle is usually left in Oregon when the owner is away from Oregon, is used primarily for personal transportation in Oregon, is a private passenger vehicle or a vehicle having a loaded weight of less than 10,000 pounds, and is not a motor home or a camper; or
* The vehicle is operated in intrastate transportation for compensation or profit for other than seasonal agricultural work.

for #1, you could register w/Sec. of State as a sole prop. biz, set up a branch [or have the main office here], then operate the vehicle here.
