West Virginia DMV Forms

Depending on what you want to do with your vehicle, you may need to fill out forms to submit to the state. It’s normal to use these forms to get a new license, to release a lien or to get duplicates of paperwork that was misplaced, lost or stolen. All of the forms are available on the forms web page at the West Virginia DMV. You can search by category. So, if you are looking for driver’s forms, search the driver’s form section instead of searching by vehicle forms. These and other forms are available online, or you can go into your local West Virginia Department of Motor Vehicles office to pick up the forms you need. Some are also available on WV DMV kiosks.
