Wisconsin ID's can Now Be Renewed Online
DMV adds ID card renewal to its list of online services.
If you have a State of Wisconsin identification card that needs to be renewed, you can now go online to do it.
The website is www.dot.wisconsin.gov/drivers/drivers/duplicate-id.htm.
Wisconsin ID cards are valid for eight years and can be renewed online one time, meaning Wisconsin ID card holders can now go up to 16 years without having to visit a DMV customer service center.

Patrick Fernan, deputy administrator for the DMV, notes that “DMV has offered the option of getting a duplicate Wisconsin ID card or driver license online for some time now, but renewing an ID card online is a new service.”
He said the DMV would like to remind people that Wisconsin ID cards that are needed for voting purposes are free.

The most popular online service continues to be vehicle registration renewal. In the last 12 months, 867,000 customers have chosen this option.
Other popular online services provide DMV customers the opportunity to:
- Schedule a road test.
- Request both driver and vehicle records.
- Find out whether their choice for a personalized license plate is available.
- Change their address.
"Clearly online is the way to go if you want to save time and money,” notes Fernan.
"Aside from getting a driver license, just about everything else a customer needs from DMV can be done online at www.wisconsindmv.gov or through the mail and does not require a visit to a service center."
