HB 3206 West Virginia House of Delegates · 2025 Regular Session

Relating to Drivers License Address Requirements

HB 3206 allows West Virginia residents without a permanent address to obtain driver's licenses or identification certificates by creating a new process for such applicants. It requires the Department of Motor Vehicles to audit these addresses, establish cancellation standards for licenses issued under this provision, and provide a fee waiver for applicants without permanent addresses. The bill directly affects individuals without fixed housing (e.g., homeless residents, those in transitional housing) who previously faced barriers to obtaining licenses due to address requirements. Key mechanisms include the new application pathway, mandatory DMV address verification, and elimination of fees for this group. This amendment to West Virginia law aims to expand access to driver's licenses for people without permanent addresses while adding oversight for these licenses.
