Facility Overview
The West Virginia Division of Motor Vehicles (DMV) Moorefield Regional Office parking lot, located at 410 S Main St in Hardy County, provides dedicated on-site parking designed to accommodate patrons conducting official state licensing, titling, and vehicle testing services. Configured as a level, open-air surface asphalt lot, this facility offers an intuitive, unobstructed drive-up experience right off South Main Street (US-220). Because there are no overhead barriers, parking structures, or low clearance arches, the parking area provides open-sky headroom that comfortably accommodates standard passenger sedans, oversized pickup trucks, work vans, and full-size SUVs commonly driven throughout the Potomac Highlands region.
Prime Location & Nearby Attractions
Situated along Moorefield\'s primary southern commercial thoroughfare, this parking facility places motorists within easy reach of both essential civic services and local commercial hubs:
- Downtown Moorefield: Located less than a mile north, offering access to the Hardy County Courthouse, local administrative offices, and historic downtown storefronts.
- South Branch Valley Shopping: Positioned within a 2- to 3-minute drive of local retail centers, grocery supermarkets, auto supply shops, and casual diners along Main Street.
- South Branch Potomac River: Popular outdoor fishing and boating access points are located within a short drive across town.

Access, Navigation & Transit Connectivity
Drivers can access the parking lot via wide, clearly marked entrances positioned directly along South Main Street (US-220 / WV-28 / WV-55). This strategic position provides rapid connections to Corridor H (US-48), allowing for straightforward regional commutes from neighboring communities such as Petersburg, Romney, and Wardensville. Ingress and egress remain fluid throughout the day, though drivers should exercise standard caution around designated road test staging lanes where driver examination vehicles arrive and depart. While local regional transit is primarily dial-a-ride or rural demand-response, vehicular navigation is effortless with standard GPS mapping.

Visitor & Driver Tips
To ensure a seamless visit, consider scheduling your DMV appointment online ahead of time through the WV DMV portal to avoid morning and midday walk-in congestion. Drivers arriving for behind-the-wheel driver testing should take note of designated testing spots and follow all directional arrows painted on the tarmac. Because this facility is reserved for official state business, avoid using the lot for non-business or overnight vehicle storage.
