My Alcohol Service Permit went through the wash...now what?

by Joy Spencer

Replacing your Alcohol Service Permit if it has been damaged, lost or stolen - or if your name or address has changed - can be done through a few simple steps.

You will need to fill out a Service Permit Application, and check the box at the top for a replacement card. The fee for a replacement card is $5.

Service Permit Applications can be found on the OLCC's Website.

Print two (2) copies of your completed application. Sign the application, but you do not need an "authorized signature" for a replacement card.

Send one copy to the OLCC with your check or money order for $5; keep the other to use as your temporary permit until you receive your replacement card in the mail.

This is to replace an unexpired service permit. If you have questions on the status of your permit, call 503-872-5200.

If you’re at a restaurant with your underage friend or relative, you might not be served - even if you have the ID to show you’re of age. Some businesses will refuse service if they suspect that you might furnish the alcoholic beverage to a minor at your table. Current accepted forms of ID include a valid state driver license with a photo; a valid DMV ID card wit...

Who has the lowest liquor prices?

by Christie Scott You may have heard some say that liquor is cheaper in California. The facts are that only a handful of products are significantly lower, while most products are very competitive. In fact, after you’ve added in the California sales tax, many popular products in Oregon are actually less expensive. Many retail stores in states like California use a sales tactic called “loss leaders.” This is the practice of drastically marking down a few popular, fast-moving products to entice customers into coming into the store and purchasing other products. But then other products are likely marked higher to make up the cost difference. The OLCC does not use these techniques to entice people into liquor stores. For public safety reasons, the state does not try to encourage alcohol sales or try to entice people into the stores. The most common size bottle sold in Oregon is 750 ml also known as "fifths." Most people who purchase alcohol purchase this size - a...
