If you are not a U.S. citizen, you must present proof of legal presence every time you apply for a new card, and the documents must be originals — photocopies are not accepted. Lawfully-present non-citizens (green card holders, valid visa + I-94, parolees, TPS applicants) can apply.","question":"Can I get a Wisconsin driver license without an SSN or lawful presence?"},{"answer":"If you are a lawful temporary visitor, your Wisconsin driver license or ID card is marked ’limited term,’ and its expiration date matches the date your documented legal presence expires (up to an 8-year renewal cycle). When you extend your status, you renew the credential with updated documents.","question":"What is the ’limited term’ credential in Wisconsin?"},{"answer":"An original regular (Class D) driver license is $42.50 for the 8-year cycle. An original ID card is $28 (renewal $28, duplicate $16). An ID card issued for voting purposes is free.","question":"How much do a Wisconsin driver license and state ID cost?"},{"answer":"No — REAL ID is optional. If you do not apply for a REAL ID, your current license or ID status stays unchanged until its expiration date. You can upgrade to a REAL ID at renewal for no additional fee.","question":"Do I need a REAL ID in Wisconsin?"}],"generated":"2026-06-29","isBasedOn":"https://wisconsindot.gov/Pages/dmv/license-drvs/how-to-apply/citizen-leg-pres.aspx","language":"en","license":"https://migrantusa.com/terms/","name":"Wisconsin driver license + state ID — without SSN options for immigrants","publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"MigrantUSA","url":"https://migrantusa.com/"},"source_urls":["https://wisconsindot.gov/Pages/dmv/license-drvs/how-to-apply/citizen-leg-pres.aspx","https://wisconsindot.gov/Documents/dmv/shared/bds316-english.pdf","https://wisconsindot.gov/Pages/dmv/vehicles/title-plates/dmv-fees.aspx","https://wisconsindot.gov/Pages/dmv/license-drvs/how-to-apply/realid.aspx"],"state":"Wisconsin","type":"dmv-state","url":"https://migrantusa.com/dmv/state-id-by-state/wisconsin/"}
