Is the DMV open today in West Virginia?
In West Virginia, driver licensing is handled by the West Virginia Division of Motor Vehicles. Its offices close on the state's holiday schedule below — and on weekends. If today isn't one of those, offices run normal business hours.
The DMV posts its own closing list for regional offices, and it includes Election Day and the full Thanksgiving weekend.
West Virginia Day falls on a Saturday in 2026, so offices close Friday, June 19, which is also Juneteenth.
The DMV also closed on Christmas Eve and New Year's Eve last year and posts its exact December dates on its website.

Weekend holidays can be observed on the nearest weekday, and a few states handle that differently — the notes above call it out where West Virginia does. The final word is always the agency's own page.
