Appointments in Wisconsin
The Wisconsin Department of Transportation (WisDOT) offers an online automated road test scheduling system. Before you visit a branch office save yourself some time by booking an appointment first. Please read the sections below for more details.
For all other driver and vehicle related services at the WisDOT you must wait in line. Keep in mind not all tasks require an in-person visit to a branch office; find out which online services you can take care of from your own computer.
