Let’s preface this with the fact that I had called WV DMV AND asked in person what documents I needed for a name change following a marriage- and both times told that I can use the social security admin. receipt.
Fast forward to the day of my visit. 3-5 employees working 15 windows. 3 employees checking clients in. Packed. Almost every seat taken.
So I check in. The employee looks at all of my documents and gives me a green light! I end up leaving to get a title so that I could update that as well.
Come back and a SECOND employee checks my documents and gives me the green light. I sit and wait for 2 hours to be told that the social security receipt is not acceptable and I needed to come back with my new social security card.
Proof of insurance, title, ID card, (personally I would bring everything)
Tax on car purchase is $30 for cars purchased 500 and under, then 6% of cars purchased over 500, not including title and other fees
I bought a new car, and traded the old one, the dealership took care of getting the registration and license plate for the new car. Question 1) what do I do with the old LP, it is valid till 2021.

Unexpired MD drivers license (I assume MD since you referred to it as MVA), birth certificate, social security card, 2 proofs of WV residency - see WV DMV website for list of what qualifies as proof. All documents must be the original, birth certificate must be the certified one, not the one with footprints from the hospital.

Why can't they ever list the number for the local DMV. This would make it easier to get questions answered, instead of having to call the state office and wait on the phone for 2 hours.
Andrea Adams | Nov 6, 2020
Jody Reedy | Nov 6, 2020
Just was there this past saturday for dl and it was a mess there was only 5 people working the counters so i would say there is no one to answer the phones?
Why am I always the 35th caller I'm que no matter when I call. I called at precisely 8:30 a.m. and was the 35th caller in que. This has repeatedly happened.
Andrea Adams | Nov 6, 2020
William Gambrell | Nov 6, 2020
They have been having issues getting phone calls through at all. If you're trying to do just an average transaction they are allowing walk ups when they first open. Just come and stand and wait and they ill make a line for people without an appointment.

Hello why can't you take the permit test two or three times a week if you fail the test
Luther Lawton (Luther Lawton) | Nov 6, 2020
M Parker | Nov 6, 2020
It sucks, i know. But the only reasonable reason they do that, that i can think of, is if they didn't, they'd be flooded with people trying to retake it. Originally, the idea was you'd go home and study harder, but after failing my driver's license test because the guy thought i turned the headlights on wrong, despite the fact that the woman he was training witnessed me do it correctly twice, i think it's unnecessary to have to wait 7 days, especially when you can fail for so much as your hazards getting stuck in the on position. THE 7 DAYS STARTS FROM THE DAY YOU FAILED. MON to MON, THURS to THURS etc, WEEKENDS AND HOLIDAYS COUNT
Hello I think west Virginia and martinsburg department of motor vehicle need to change their laws about taken the permit test for your license. Why do people have to wait a week if they fail the test. Come now this has to change

What is the cost of a license for someone who just moved here?
Honey Smith | Nov 7, 2019
Rebecca Johnson | Nov 7, 2019
Depends on your age. The system gets you to a five year cycle. If your 33 yo. You will get 7 years to get you to 40. If your 37, you will get 3 years to get you to forty. You will always expire on a 0 or 5.....30, 35, 40 etc. Cost is 5 a year. If you want a federal license it will add 10 more. So say you get 5 years=25 (plus .50cents for fees)= 25.50. Add 10 more for federal= 35.50. Hope this helps.

just moved to the area what do I need to take to DMV to get my license and my vehicles registered in the state of West Virginia
Noah Mitchum | Nov 7, 2019
Ni kita | Nov 7, 2019
1. Unexpired out of state license.
2. Birth certificate or passport
3. Social security card
4. Original name change documents if any
5. 2 proofs of West Virginia residency. Utility bills, wage documents, car insurance, etc...
To register your car you need your title and car insurance.
If your address hasn't changed and you have a state issued license, bring a household bill in your name. No older than 60 days. (No credit card or medical will be accepted.) If your address has changed or you had a federal license bring 2 household bills. The applications are in the lobby.
I'm not exactly sure and I can't find anything on it. I don't think it would expire until midnight on the 12th. As long as you get it renewed before they close you should be ok.
No, DMV is closed 11/22-25 for Thanksgiving holiday.

Nick Tyson | Nov 7, 2018
Jamie Rhine | Nov 7, 2018
Bring your expired ID, birth certificate, social security card, and 2 proofs of residency. If you don't have them bring a room mate who does that they may fill out an an affidavit form that says you live at X address with them. The residency proof is in their name. And they need their ID with X address on it. If no B.C. a valid passport or green card. If no S.S your taxes or pay check with full S.S on it. If name has ever changed since birth proof of that as well. Good luck!
If i took the road test on saturday and failed for parallel parking can i take the test again monday
David Dillard Jr | Nov 7, 2018
Elizabeth G | Nov 7, 2018
No, you have to wait 7 days. I would recommend the DMV in Ranson, the one in Mattinsburg fails a large percentage of those who take the test.
There are no luxury taxes on a car that is given as a gift. But unless the vehicle is being given to a child or a parent, the notarized gift sheet must be filled out first.
