The Wisconsin Department of Transportation's Division of Motor Vehicles (DMV) has outlined the process for obtaining an ID for voting purposes. This is particularly relevant for those who do not possess a Wisconsin driver license or state ID.

While identification is required to vote in Wisconsin, there is no specific "voter ID" and a federally compliant REAL ID is not necessary. The DMV advises voters who are U.S. citizens to visit the Wisconsin Elections Commission website to verify acceptable forms of ID at polling stations.

For individuals seeking their first Wisconsin ID, the DMV recommends starting at wisconsindmv.gov/idcards. Necessary documents should be gathered before visiting a DMV office, where appointments are optional.

The DMV provides an online resource listing required documents for obtaining voter identification: wisconsindmv.gov/idcards. Additionally, U.S. citizens can access a free service that issues a receipt valid for voting if their official ID card is unavailable by election day.

For further assistance with obtaining an ID, the DMV offers a toll-free hotline at (844) 588-1069. Queries about voter eligibility, polling locations, and registration can be directed to the Wisconsin Elections Commission website.
