Driver Licenses

Since April 1, 2007, the state of Wisconsin requires any person seeking to apply for a driver license or identification card – or to renew these documents – to have a social security number.

 

When applying, a person must also provide proof of his/her name, date of birth, identity and residency in Wisconsin.

 

Some of the documents used (but not limited to these documents) to prove name and date of birth are:

• Certified copy of birth certificate.
• Passport
• Driver license or Wisconsin identification card or from a different state, which must be up to date or with four years or less of expiration with the applicant’s picture and signature.
• Mexican voter card, with the applicant’s picture and signature.

 

Some of the documents used (but not limited to these documents) to prove residency are:

• Pay check or stub with your name/Wisconsin address, and your employer’s name/address. Your employer’s telephone number may be required for verification.
• A utility bill for water, gas, electricity or house phone (not cell phone). An account statement at least 30 days old from a Wisconsin financial institution (account statement must show activity)
• An individual taxpayer identification number (ITIN) along with the letter from the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) listing your Wisconsin address
