Wisconsin Department of Transportation Implements New Process for Address Changes on Driver’s Licenses
Starting July 1, 2021, the Wisconsin Department of Transportation (WisDOT) will be implementing a new process for changing addresses on driver’s licenses. The updated procedure aims to streamline the process and make it more convenient for Wisconsin residents to update their information.
Under the new system, individuals will no longer need to visit a DMV service center in person to change their address on their driver’s license. Instead, they will be able to complete the address change online through the WisDOT website. This change comes as part of WisDOT’s efforts to modernize their services and provide more efficient options for residents.
To update their address, individuals will need to visit the WisDOT website and log into their account. From there, they will be directed to a secure portal where they can input their new address information. Once the address change is confirmed, a new driver’s license will be mailed to the individual within 7-10 business days.
“We are excited to launch this new online address change process for driver’s licenses,” says WisDOT Secretary Craig Thompson. “We understand that residents lead busy lives and may not always have the time to visit a DMV service center in person. By offering this online option, we hope to make it more convenient for individuals to update their information without the hassle of having to go in person.”
In addition to the online option, WisDOT will still offer the traditional in-person address change service at DMV service centers for those who prefer to update their information that way. However, WisDOT encourages individuals to take advantage of the online option to save time and avoid long wait times at DMV locations.
The new online address change process is just one of many updates that WisDOT has made to their services in recent years. The department has worked to modernize their systems and make it easier for residents to access important services such as renewing their driver’s licenses, registering their vehicles, and taking care of other DMV-related tasks.
“We are committed to providing the best possible service to the residents of Wisconsin,” says Thompson. “By implementing these new processes and technologies, we hope to make it easier for individuals to interact with the DMV and get the services they need quickly and efficiently.”
Wisconsin residents who are looking to change their address on their driver’s license can visit the WisDOT website starting July 1 to access the new online address change process. The department encourages individuals to take advantage of this new option to make updating their information a quick and easy process.
Overall, the new online address change process for driver’s licenses is a positive step forward for WisDOT and the residents of Wisconsin. By offering a more convenient and efficient way to update information, WisDOT is making it easier for individuals to stay current with their driver’s license details and ensuring that their records are up to date.
