WZ-Dhuent, WV (WVNS) – Governor of West Virginia, Jim Justice, has announced that the West Virginia DMV is introducing two new digital services for residents of the state.
Starting now, West Virginia residents who are renewing their vehicle registration can choose a digital version of their vehicle registration card, which can be stored on their smartphones. Furthermore, the DMV is working on introducing a digital driver’s license and identification card, available on smartphones under the name West Virginia Mobile ID. The launch of this project is currently planned for September 2024.
“Mobile ID is a game-changer. It is secure, convenient, and allows for easy identification at select businesses and government institutions,” said DMV Commissioner Everett Frazier.
The DMV is collaborating with law enforcement agencies and IDEMIA to ensure smooth implementation of these services. However, it is recommended to have a physical identity document on hand for travel outside of the state.
