How to Renew/Replace a Motorcycle License in West Virginia
HOW TO RENEW YOUR MOTORCYCLE LICENSE
A West Virginia Motorcycle License can be renewed in person at any driver exam station in the State. The West Virginia Division of Motor Vehicles notifies owners of the expiration date of their motorcycle license by mail, approximately two months in advance.
WHEN TO RENEW YOUR MOTORCYCLE LICENSE
Your West Virginia motorcycle license generally expires on your birthday. If your license has expired for more than six months, you will have to take the knowledge and skills tests like any first time applicant. West Virginia has introduced the ‘drive for five' program under which all drivers' licenses will expire at an age divisible by five (i.e. 25, 30, 35 and so on). The new license is generally valid for five years, but if your current license expires at an age not divisible by five, then the expiry of your new license will be adjusted (for 3-7 years) so that it does so. For example if your current license expires at age 28, you will be issued a seven year license. For more details, see.
