Release of Motor Vehicle Records

A mailed request with the proper payment and completion of a Vehicle/Driver Record Information Request (MV2896) is required. Form MV2896 is available at the Internet address of www.dot.state.wi.us/dmv/records.html. Requests should include the individual’s name (as it appears on the Wisconsin driver license), date of birth, and gender and/or the Wisconsin driver 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 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 at 608-261-2566

Agencies with TIME terminals have access to driver files. Only Wisconsin police agencies get driver conviction entries. NLETS users get the status. Questions about records 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 DPPA (MV2896) form makes it necessary for other persons or agencies to deal directly with DMV.

ANY REQUESTS FOR A DRIVER RECORD FROM THE PUBLIC MUST BE REFERRED TO DOT at (608-266-2353)
