Reviews of How to Apply for a New Driver's License in Wisconsin
Im 18 and my temps exparied 6 months ago. I want to go and get them again to do so do I have to retake the writing text. And if so does taking the writing text cost money?
Im confused, Im relocating to WI this month and the DMV in Madison told me all thats needed to transfer my cdl, is to bring proof of my new residency and my old license, but someone else told me I'll need to take the tests. Which is it? I need to know what kind of expenses to be prepared for.
i completely agree with everything all the restictions should most definitely be followed. driving under age is a priveledge so everyone needs to follow the rules
