Getting ID and Documents Back in Wisconsin

Go to a DMV office. You need to be a U.S. citizen and at least 18 by the next election. Bring any of these you have: proof of name and birth date, proof of identity, Wisconsin residency, citizenship proof and your Social Security number. If you don't have everything, fill out forms MV3004 and MV3012. You will get a photo ID document in the mail. Call the voter ID hotline at 844 588 1069.

Any Wisconsin resident may apply, at any age. Visit a DMV customer service center with the MV3004 application and your proof documents. You can't hold a valid driver license and an ID card at the same time. A photo receipt works as ID while your card is in the mail. If the card has not come in 10 business days, contact the DMV.

By mail it costs $20 for the first copy and $3 for each extra copy, and takes about 10 business days after they get your order. You can also order online or by phone through VitalChek at 877 885 2981, which takes about five business days and charges an extra fee. Or ask your county Register of Deeds.

A parent can request a child's record using their own ID. If the person on the record has no acceptable ID, they can sign a written statement that lets someone else apply for them. The state page does not list a fee waiver, so ask when you call.
