| Typical fine | Roughly $50–$500 plus court costs depending on the charge |
|---|---|
| License points | No points for registration, inspection, and license-paperwork violations |

| License risk | Compliance citations are commonly dismissed or reduced in magistrate court once the fix is documented. |
Frequently asked questions
Expired inspection and registration tickets are classic compliance citations: get current, document it, and magistrate courts routinely dismiss or sharply reduce the charge. An attorney can file the proof so you skip the courthouse entirely.
Driving without ever being licensed is a misdemeanor in West Virginia, while an expired license or simply not carrying your card is treated far more leniently — often resolvable on proof of renewal. The distinction drives the strategy.
No — registration, inspection, and equipment violations are non-moving and carry no points, so a properly resolved case leaves your insurance untouched.
A missed magistrate court date can generate a failure-to-appear, a warrant, or a DMV suspension — converting a $50 sticker problem into a criminal driving-while-suspended charge. Resolve it, or have a West Virginia attorney in our network resolve it for you.
