Oregon Do-Not-Call List

Oregon Has Its Own DNC List

You must scrub against BOTH the federal National DNC Registry AND the Oregon state DNC list before making calls in this state. Scrubbing only the federal list is not sufficient.

Oregon's DNC program is governed by ORS 646.553-646.578. The AG may contract with a vendor to administer the program or designate the federal FTC registry as the state's list. Telephonic sellers must register with the AG at least 10 days before conducting business (ORS 646.553), appointing the AG as agent for service of process. The PUC requires telecommunications companies to inform consumers about DNC provisions via billing inserts or phone directory listings. Exemptions: nonprofits, political organizations, established relationships, debt-related calls, cooperatives with 15,000 or fewer access lines, and PUC-regulated utilities. Violations are unlawful practices under ORS 646.608. Complaints: file with FTC or Oregon DOJ.
