West Virginia State Process (Renewal)

Congratulations on getting approved for your renewed medical certification. Here's a guide to what you need to do next.

If you are a new patient, click here for registration instructions.

Before you start, have these documents to hand:

  • 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.
