| + | In West Virginia, registering your custom-built car can be the same as registering any other vehicle, or it can be a much more tedious process―it all depends on where the car was built. | ||
| + | Built out of State | ||
| + | |||
| + | If your car was custom-built out of state―good news. You'll only need to follow the same registration process as you would for any other vehicle (submitting completed forms and all applicable fees to your local DMV office). | ||
| + | |||
| + | Built in State | ||
| + | |||
| + | However, if you custom-built the car in West Virginia, you'll need to take a few more steps. Before you can register and title the car at the DMV, you're required to visit your local West Virginia State Police detachment with a verification of vehicle identification number (VIN) form. The officer who assists you will verify that there is no VIN already assigned to the vehicle. | ||
| + | |||
| + | This extra step also ensures that neither the car nor its parts have been stolen. The DMV suggests keeping receipts or other records of purchase to show the officer who assists you, just in case. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Note that regardless of where the car was built, you'll need to follow the same steps as outlined in our Car Registration section. | ||
| + | |||
| + | |||
| + | Registering for the First Time | ||
| + | If you're registering your vehicle in West Virginia for the first time, your registration process will depend on whether you purchased your vehicle from a dealership or an individual. If you purchased your vehicle from a dealership, the dealer will handle all paperwork for you and you'll be charged the applicable fees right there. If you purchased your vehicle from an individual, you'll need to take care of the registration at your local Division of Motor Vehicles (DMV) office. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Whether you purchased your vehicle from a dealership or individual, the fees will be the same: | ||
| + | |||
| + | * Privilege tax of 5% of the purchase price if you paid at least half of the vehicle's book value; if not, you will pay 5% of the low book value. | ||
| + | |||
| + | * If you purchased the vehicle for less than 50% of the loan value as reported by "The Automobile Red Book," the tax will be based on the loan value unless you present a notarized bill of sale. | ||
| + | |||
| + | * If you are moving to West Virginia from out of state, the tax will be based on the loan value of the vehicle as reported by "The Automobile Red Book." | ||
| + | |||
| + | * $5 to record any lien information. | ||
| + | |||
| + | * $30 for your license plate. | ||
| + | |||
| + | * $10 for your title (which can be handled at the same time you handle your registration). | ||
| + | |||
| + | New residents must title and register their vehicles within 30 days of establishing West Virginia residency. | ||
