West Virginia State Process

Congratulations on getting approved for your medical certification! The doctor will electronically submit your approval details to the state. Here's a guide to what you need to do next.

Before you start, have the following ready:

• Digital passport-style photo
• Valid photo ID (WV Driver's License, WV State ID, or Passport)
• Proof of West Virginia residency (Click here to view acceptable documentation)

• If requesting a waiver of the fee based on financial hardship (income below 200% of the federal poverty level), provide acceptable proof of income, such as W-2, recent pay stubs, proof of benefit eligibility, etc. Please do not send a payment if you are requesting a fee waiver. If the waiver is not granted, you will be notified to submit the fee at that time.
