1. (1) When the Oregon Department of Transportation, Driver and Motor Vehicle Services Division (DMV) must verify to its satisfaction that it has suspended the driving privilege of the wrong person under ORS 813.410, DMV must receive written notice from the original reporting police agency or, if the police agency no longer exists, from the District Attorney's office in the jurisdiction of the originating police agency. The notice:

   3. (c) Should include the name, address and date of birth of the person actually arrested for driving under the influence of intoxicants, if known; and
   4. (d) Should include the date of arrest.
2. (2) When DMV receives this notice, it will rescind the suspension that was entered on the driving record of the person whose name was falsely used.

3. (3) If the notice includes the correct name of the person actually arrested for driving under the influence of intoxicants, DMV will issue a notice of suspension to the person’s address as shown by DMV records. A suspension order under this section is subject to the following:

   1. (a) The suspension begins 35 days from the mailing date of the suspension notice unless a hearing is requested;
   2. (b) The suspension is subject to an increase in the length of the suspension period under ORS 813.430;
