http://www.dot.wisconsin.gov/drivers/records.htm

Requests should include the individual's name (as it appears on the Wisconsin driver's license), date of birth, and gender and/or the Wisconsin driver's license number.  A fee of $5.00 is required if complete information is furnished.  An additional $5.00 is required if information provided is incorrect or incomplete for the driver records requests.  Mailing address:

Phone requests for driver abstracts will be accepted only from established account holders or from an individual requesting his/her own driving record by calling (608) 261-2566.

Agencies with TIME terminals have access to the drivers files.  Only Wisconsin law enforcement agencies receive driver conviction entries.  Out-of-state users receive the status information only.  Questions about records from out-of-state users should be directed to DOT at terminal "WIOLN0000" (not a 24-hour terminal).

Access to these files is for law enforcement purposes only due to the confidentiality of many of the record entries.  The requirement for completion of the Federal Driver Privacy Protection Act (DPPA) (MV2896) form makes it necessary for other persons or agencies to deal directly with DMV.
