How to change your address with the Wisconsin DMV (WisDOT)

GovernmentWisconsin3 steps

Short answer

To change your address with the Wisconsin DMV (WisDOT), update your driver's license or state ID on the official WI site, then update your vehicle registration separately. Both usually need to move with you, and most states handle the license update online.

Confirm the deadline on the official site. Most states ask for a license and registration update soon after a move, but the exact window changes, so this page will not invent a Wisconsin cutoff date.

Steps

  1. Update your driver's license or state ID at the official site: https://wisconsindot.gov/. Most states handle it online; have your license number and new address ready. Some charge a small fee for a reprinted card.
  2. Update your vehicle registration too. It's often a separate record from your license. Tell your auto insurer too, since premiums follow your garaging address.
  3. Re-register to vote. A license update usually does not move your voter registration. Do it at vote.gov.
