West Virginia Offers Digital Options for Vehicle Registration and Driver’s License

West Virginians have been granted the convenience of storing their vehicle registration card in their Apple or Google Wallet on their smart phones. In addition, digital driver’s licenses are set to be introduced in Spring 2024.

West Virginia Governor Jim Justice hailed the West Virginia Department of Motor Vehicles’ (DMV) transition to digital services as a significant advancement for both the DMV and the state’s residents.

Digital vehicle registration is now accessible via the DMV’s website. Individuals who choose to renew their registration through the online platform will receive a link to download a digital version for their mobile wallets. This will be provided alongside a PDF copy and a physical paper copy containing the registration decal, which will be sent via mail. These details were shared by the governor’s office.

According to the release, it is advisable to carry a physical copy of your information, especially when traveling out of state, despite the convenience of digital wallet registration.
