In West Virginia, the registration process for your RV or motor home is the same as the registration process for any other motor vehicle. Visit the Official West Virginia Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) Web site and our Title Transfers pages for detailed registration and titling steps.

In short, registering your RV or motor home will consist of paying your dealer at the time of purchase and letting him or her handle all registration and titling paperwork. Or, if you purchased your RV or motor home from an individual, you'll need to visit your local DMV office and take the completed forms and all applicable fees.

You'll renew your RV or motor home registration the same way you renew the registration of any other motor vehicle.

Mandatory Insurance

RVs and motor homes have the same insurance requirements as any other motor vehicle in West Virginia. Your registration will be suspended if you fail to show proof of insurance, so if you only use your RV or motor home seasonally you'll need to complete a Seasonal Statement of Insurance (WV-4B) form and submit it to your local DMV.

Make sure to keep your proof of insurance and your registration information in your RV or motor home at all times.

Visit our FAQ section for more information on registration suspension and reinstatement.
