If you're between 15 and 18, you must comply with the Graduated Driver License program. You can obtain an instruction permit at 15 years old. Then, once you're at least 16 years old and have held the permit for at least six months, you can apply for a probationary driver license. To obtain a regular driver license (class D), you must be at least 19 years old.
If you're 18 years old or older, you must hold the permit for a minimum of seven days before applying for a probationary driver license.
You cannot schedule appointments for the DMV written test because they are conducted on a walk-in basis. Verify if your chosen Wisconsin DMV office provides permit tests before you go. Keep in mind that it usually takes around 45 minutes to finish, so make sure to arrive with enough time before the office's closing hours to complete the exam.
You'll need to bring specific documents to prove your eligibility:
- A completed Wisconsin Driver License Application. If you're under 18 years old, your application must be signed by the instructor of the driver education program you're enrolled in, and you must have the signature of a parent/guardian or sponsor.
- Proof of U.S. citizenship or legal permanent resident status.
- Proof of your name and date of birth.
