PRIMARY SOURCE VERIFICATION: The WV LPN Board website is considered primary source verification and is actually the preferred method of licensure validation instead of viewing a license card. The licensure information on the website is updated each business day at 3:00 pm. Licensees are no longer issued a paper license each year at the time of renewal. If a licensee presents a paper license card which shows different information than you find on this website verification system, immediately phone the WV LPN Board office at 304-558-3572 or 1-877-558-5767, or Email us to verify the information.
