KnowTo Drive, the official West Virginia online driver exam

You're being told to visit the DMV because your identity was not able to be validated online. The validation process is completed through a national third party identity verification partner and due to privacy and fraud prevention concerns the causes for these failures are not disclosed.

No additional details can be provided to correct this for you, and our support teams cannot correct or provide any further details. Attempting to register again will result in another failed verification.

Please make arrangements to visit your local DMV to complete your testing process.

There is no limit on the amount of tests that you may take online. The only limitation is that you must wait seven (7) days between tests.
