DMV announces extension to Sept. 30 for several transactions

CHARLESTON — The West Virginia Division of Motor Vehicles announced  that many driver and vehicle transactions have been granted a continued blanket extension to Sept. 30.

This announcement revises the recent memorandum that extended the expiration date on the face of the following documents, beginning March 1: 

  •  Any Driver’s License, including Graduated Driver’s License (levels 1, 2 and 3, and includes February expiration dates) and Commercial Driver’s License Instructional Permits, including Commercial Permits.
  •  Vehicle registration, including temporary vehicle registrations or plates, and IRP registration.

Also, in conjunction with the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration, any CDL holder whose medical certification expires March 1, or after, and was issued for 90 days or longer, will have until Sept. 30 to provide a new medical certification to avoid the downgrading of the CDL.

Appointments may be made by going to go.wv.gov/dmvappoint ment or by calling 304-558-3938. All DMV regional offices and the Fairmont Exam Center are now taking appointments. Appointments may be made at all offices for driver’s license instruction permits, new driver’s license and identification cards, changes to driver’s licenses and ID cards, and dealer salesperson testing.
