📣📢 PSA: If you plan to fly… If you haven’t heard, Oregon will be complying with the Real ID Act. This means that you can obtain an Oregon Real ID card in July of this year. Heres the kicker… a Real ID or Passport (or other federally approved ID) will be mandatory on all commercial flights within the US effective October 1st. Your old driver’s license doesn’t cut it anymore. Yes, that’s right, you only have 3 months to update your Oregon drivers license so that it is Real ID compliant (if you don’t have a passport). What to remember: ~ Apply for an Oregon Real ID 7/6/2020 ~ Expect long lines at DMV ~ Follow Atkinson Insurance Group for the latest news ~ Find your passport If you have any questions about Oregon’s Real ID requirements, post them in the comments section below! 💬💬 #RealD https://www.oregon.gov/ODOT/DMV/pages/realidtraveler.aspx January 22, 2020

Afternoon team fun at Big Al’s in celebration of some goals exceeded! Way to go team! (And yes, yes we did photoshop Kelli in! She was there, we promise… she just had to leave a few minutes before we got our picture.) December 19, 2019
This holiday season the Atkinson Insurance Group teamed up with Frugal Living NW and Embrace Oregon to collect and donate gift cards for teens in the foster care system for the Christmas holiday. We ordered lunch in and hand wrote greeting cards enclosed with a gift card for a teen. So often toys are collected for younger kids and teens aren’t always remembered during the holidays. This is a great way for them to receive a gift! December 19, 2019
Thank you so much to all who referred your friends, family, clients and acquaintances to us in the month of November. It is truly an honor to provide protection for those you care about most. All of our referral donations for 4th quarter are going to Embrace Oregon to help support children in the foster care system. Thank you, thank you, thank you! December 17, 2019
