Morgan County History
Morgan County is the westernmost county in the Eastern Panhandle of West Virginia. The county is one of the three in the Hagerstown-Martinsburg, MD-WV Metropolitan Statistical Area. Morgan County was created in 1820 from parts of Berkeley and Hampshire counties. It was named in honor of General Daniel Morgan who was a prominent solider in the American Revolution. Many early European settlers and Indians spent time in this area because of the warm springs and their rumored health benefits. George Washington and many other Virginia elite vacationed in the county. Today the Morgan County area is still famous for the springs and scenic surroundings.

Obtaining a Driver’s License
Change of Address
If you change your address you are required to notify, in writing, the DMV within 20 days of the change. Failure to do this subjects you to a possible fine or imprisonment. Simply notifying the U.S. Post Office will NOT update your record with the DMV or allow important DMV mail to be forwarded to you. By failing to change your address with the DMV, you could miss the renewal date of your license, or even have your driving privileges suspended or revoked unnecessarily. Please see changing your address in West Virginia for more details.
Out-of-State License Transfers
If you have a valid non-expired out-of-state license, you are eligible to transfer the license. If the out-of-state license is expired, you are required to take all examination tests, vision, written, and road skills examination(s) before making application for a driver’s license. You are required to pass a vision test, complete a brief alcohol awareness course, and surrender your out-of state license before a WV license will be issued. A transfer applicant must present all documents that are required. A written examination is also required for applicants under the age of 18. If you have a motorcycle endorsement on your license the Division will transfer the endorsement for an additional fee of $5.00.
A new resident who does not have possession of the out-of-state license or if it has expired, must obtain a certified driving record, dated no more than 30 days from the date of the application, from the state in which they were previously licensed.
If your out-of–state license is suspended or revoked, you will not be licensed in WV, until you receive a “clearance” in the PDPS. It is illegal to drive in WV with a suspended or revoked license. All applicants for a WV driving license must be verified with the PDPS. It is important to confirm that you are not under suspension in any other jurisdiction before attempting to obtain a license in WV.
