| The West Virginia Division of Motor Vehicles has announced that a 90-day extension on many driver and vehicle transactions has been granted.
The extension includes expirations occurring in the month of May due to the continued closure of all regional offices, in keeping with the most recent guidelines and best practices recommended by both the CDC and West Virginia Department of Health and Human Resources regarding COVID-19, according to a press release.
The DMV said this announcement revises the recent memorandum that extended the expiration date of any of the following documents with an expiration date in March or April (and now May) of 2020 for three months from the date of expiration on the face of the document:
Any driverâs license, including graduated driverâs license (levels 1, 2, and 3, and includes February expiration dates) and commercial driverâs license
Instructional permits, including commercial permits
Vehicle registration, including temporary vehicle registrations or plates, and IRP registration
In conjunction with the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA), any CDL holder whose medical certification expires March 1, 2020, or after, and was issued for 90 days or longer, will have until June 30, 2020, to provide a new medical certification to avoid the downgrading of the CDL.
Additionally, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security announced the extension of the Federal REAL ID deadline of enforcement to October 1, 2021. This extension gives customers extra time to obtain their REAL ID credential, according to the release. More information regarding REAL ID and DMVâs For Federal driverâs license may be found here.
The DMV adds that many of its most-requested transactions can be done online or mailed in and do not require a trip to a regional office. Online services include:
Driverâs license renewal (if no changes, and every other cycle)
Duplicate driverâs license request
Vehicle registration renewals
