Dealer-related Information in Wisconsin

Wisconsin has a few newsletters for automotive dealers, and there are links on the Wisconsin Department of Motor Vehicle Web page with more information and links to a number of pertinent articles.

Check out Tips and Tools for Dealers, which offers information regarding everything from electronic mailing lists to dealer listings.

Dealer Forms

If you need dealer forms, check the Dealer Licensing Forms and Publications page of the DMV website, or try our section on Dealer Forms, where you'll find a brief explanation of each form.

The Plain Dealing Newsletter

Plain Dealing is the title of the quarterly automotive dealer's newsletter, distributed by the Wisconsin Department of Transportation to all licensed automotive dealers. There is no fee for the newsletter and you may opt for electronic delivery by e-mail if you prefer, rather than having a hard copy mailed to you each quarter.

Back issues are kept on the website if you need to refer to them. You can sign up for e-delivery and start getting your newsletter on-line.
