What documents do I need to bring to get a new driver's license?

Asked 6 months ago
To obtain a new driver's license from the West Virginia Division of Motor Vehicles (DMV/RMV), you are required to bring specific documents. Firstly, you must provide proof of identity and age, such as a certified birth certificate, passport, or permanent resident card. Additionally, you need to bring proof of your Social Security Number, which can be validated using your Social Security card, W-2 form, or paystub with full SSN. For address verification, bring documents like utility bills, bank statements, or lease agreements in your name. If you have changed your name, legal documentation such as marriage certificates or court orders must be presented. Finally, proof of West Virginia residency entails documents like current West Virginia vehicle registrations or hunting or fishing licenses. These documents should be brought to ensure a successful application for a new driver's license.
