Frequently Asked Questions

Does West Virginia require SR-22 filing after a DUI?

No. West Virginia does not use SR-22 or any high-risk financial-responsibility certificate. The state enforces compulsory insurance through the Online Insurance Verification Program, where your insurer transmits proof of coverage directly to the DMV. You need only maintain a valid West Virginia liability policy to satisfy reinstatement requirements.

Can I get a hardship license in West Virginia during a DUI revocation?

West Virginia does not offer a general hardship or occupational license. The only option for limited driving during a DUI revocation is the Motor Vehicle Alcohol and Drug Test and Lock (Interlock) Program, available for alcohol-based DUI revocations only. Drug DUI offenders are not eligible for the interlock program.

Which insurance carriers write DUI policies in West Virginia?

Carriers writing coverage for drivers with a DUI in West Virginia include Progressive, GEICO, The General, Dairyland, Direct Auto, Bristol West, and National General. Not all carriers accept every DUI case; eligibility depends on your specific violation, time since conviction, and driving history.

What is the West Virginia Safety and Treatment Program?

The Motor Vehicle Alcohol and Drug Safety and Treatment Program is a mandatory education and treatment program for all DUI offenders in West Virginia. You must complete the program before the DMV will reinstate your license. The program includes an assessment, education sessions, and treatment components tailored to your offense level.
