The issue is what this takes. You need:

1 document proving you are who you say (this cannot be a state or federal ID. I used my birth certificate, which can be difficult and time consuming to acquire if you don’t have access to it.)

2 different documents from different sources proving you live where you say (this would need to be a bank statement or utility bill)

You must also provide a document proving your Social Security Number (this can be hard if you don’t have the card - getting a new one is similarly painful), AND if your legal name has changed from what’s on your birth certificate, you need to provide attestation of that (marriage or divorce paperwork, etc).

So you could potentially need up to 6 documents from 6 different sources, it’s still up to the DMV to accept them, and you don’t actually get the card for at least another 2-3 weeks at minimum. There’s also a fee - in my state it would cost me about $80 after taxes.

Reminder that West Virginia exists exclusively because of slavery. Especially that part of Appalachia was a HUGE haven for self emancipated people and free black people alike, because if you get deep enough into the mountains, you basically cease to exist as a legal entity unless people want to put a significant amount of effort into reaching you and the same amount in extricating you.

Don’t forget ICE going into schools and boarding schoolbuses so they can arrest Hispanic-looking kids. They didn’t just accelerate the genocide, they imported it home.
