Bill > HB4778

This bill modifies existing West Virginia law regarding driver's licenses and state-issued identification cards to allow individuals without a permanent address to obtain these documents by providing an affidavit of "No Permanent Residence," which must be signed by an agent of a shelter facility or a state-registered nonprofit, and this affidavit will be valid for one year to establish residency. The bill also clarifies that while a West Virginia residence address is generally required, applicants can now verify their lack of a permanent address with satisfactory proof or the aforementioned affidavit, and those eligible for the "no permanent residence" option will have associated fees waived, though the department retains discretion in approving alternate addresses and the resulting license or ID will be valid for six months.
