West Virginia Division of Motor Vehicles will never text you asking for payment. We do not collect fees for Turnpike tolls or parking citations. All DMV related expiration dates (for drivers licenses and registrations) are known well in advance.
Scammers often use fear tactics such as demanding payment TODAY or you lose privileges tomorrow. If you receive a communication you think might be a scam, but you want to be sure, the real DMV will take the time to answer your questions. Reach us at (800) 642-9066.
Share the word and help protect your friends, family, neighbors and co-workers from scams.
