In late 2020, DMV phased-in a new driver's license issuance program, in compliance with the Real ID Act of 2005. Customers renewing or applying for a driver's license or identification card credential, in the regional offices, at the kiosks, or online, now receive a temporary card/receipt, valid for 60 days, and their permanent credential will be mailed to them as part of the central issuance requirement for REAL ID. Customers applying for duplicate credentials will also receive a temporary card and their permanent credential in the mail. All license and ID issuance is now done through the central print location, with no credentials being printed in the offices.
Central issuance involves mailing permanent license and ID cards from a secure facility. Additionally, the new program also includes a new design for licenses and IDs with several upgraded security features. These security features will reduce the risk of fraud and identity theft.
Duplicate Applicants If your license has been lost, stolen, or destroyed, you are required to provide one proof identity document and one proof of WV residency document. Additionally, if your legal name has changed from what was listed on your previous license or ID card, you must also provide proof of legal name change document(s). If you have changed your address since the last card was issued, you must provide two proofs of WV residency documents.
New Applicants, Transfers, and Expired License Applicants are required to provide one proof of identity, one proof of Social Security number, two proofs of WV residency with name and physical address, and proof of Legal name change document(s) if your name has changed or is different than the provided proof of identity document.
New Applicants, Transfers, and Expired License Applicants are required to provide one proof of identity, one proof of Social Security number, two proofs of WV residency with name and physical address, and proof of legal name change document(s) if your name has ever changed.
This card is sent to the applicant's address via USPS in 10-15 business days. A temporary License is issued at the time the application is accepted at DMV for use during the production and shipping of this card.

If an applicant is not eligible for a social security number, then the applicant must submit a denial letter from the Social Security Administration. The Division checks every social security number with the SSA. If you have a problem with the SSA, such as name or date of birth does not match with records of the DMV, and SSA then you must have the problem corrected before you can be issued a permit, license, or identification card. Your documents will be scanned and returned to you, which will provide DMV with a historical record, and provide you with additional protection, per the Federal Real ID Act of 2005. Please visit the Social Security Administration website for information about obtaining a Social Security number.
