West Virginia DMV Locations

The West Virginia DMV has several regional offices as well as kiosks and other services that make it easier to take care of your vehicle-related needs. The DMV has had some abrupt closures, so it’s important to go to the DMV’s main website to get updates before you go to a DMV. Most offices do require you to have an appointment, but there are some regional offices that now offer walk-in services. For services that don’t require an in-person visit, kiosks are spread out around the state.

You may also be able to complete some of your necessary paperwork online. Online services through the West Virginia DMV include things like paying your property taxes or purchasing personalized plates for your vehicle. All of the possible transactions you can do online are listed on the agency’s website.

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.
