Below, you’ll find more information about the West Virginia DMV regional offices, DMV walk-in offices, exam centers and kiosks in West Virginia. Always plan to call or schedule an appointment in advance, since closures are still occurring at random due to the Coronavirus pandemic.
Regional Offices
West Virginia is unique in that it has regional offices, walk-in offices and an exam center. There are also kiosks that may be available within regional offices to help speed up your visit. Regional offices usually accept appointments for all vehicle-related services, but there are some that do not. Those are now called walk-in only offices, which will be listed in the next section.
Since June 22, 2021, skills testing has been made available at all of the regional offices, which makes it easier for first-time drivers and others who need to take a skills test to get their test in a location near them.
