Occupational
Driver's License
Most occupational
licenses are processed directly through the Wisconsin
Department of Motor vehicles (DMV).
Some types of
occupational licenses, however, need to be processed through
the court system. For example, if you are denied an
occupational license because you have three OWI type
offenses within five years, or 24 or more demerit points
within one year, you can petition the circuit court in your
county of residence for an occupational license provided
that all of the waiting periods have expired.
To apply, you must go in
person to the Clerk of Courts office at 210 W. Center Street
in Juneau, Wisconsin, Monday through Friday from 8:00am to
4:30pm. You must fill out the petition that you obtain
from the clerk. You must bring with you a copy of your
driver record, your denial letter from the DMV, your
occupational application, and the $40 non-refundable fee.
You can obtain a copy of your driver record from DMV by
calling (608)
261-2566, or writing to:
Wisconsin
Department of Transportation
Driver Information Section
P.O. Box 7918
Madison, WI 53707-7918
There is a $5 fee for a
copy of your driver record.
The court will schedule
your application for a hearing. If the court grants
your request for an occupational license, you must take the
court order to a DMV Service Center. If you meet all
other eligibility requirements, your occupational license
will be issued.
If you are denied an
occupation license because you have two or more
revocation/suspension cases from separate incidents within
a one year period, you can petition the circuit court in
your county of residence for an occupational license.
However, even if the court grants your request for an
occupation license, DMV will again deny issuance of an
occupation license because the law prohibits issuing an
occupational license to a person with two
revocation/suspension cases from separate incidents, within
a one year period.
If you have questions,
you may contact the DMV at (608) 266-2261 or email:
