How to Restore Your Wisconsin License After a No-Insurance Suspension
The short answer
These are the steps the Wisconsin agency lists to restore a license after a suspension for no insurance. The state's reinstatement fees are $60 to $200, depending on the suspension. Whether an SR-22 is also required depends on your case.
Steps listed by the Wisconsin agency
- Check eligibility and reinstate online with your Wisconsin DL/ID number, last four digits of your Social Security number and date of birth.
- File proof of insurance by having an insurance company licensed in Wisconsin file the actual SR-22 certificate with DMV.
- Pay the reinstatement fee ($50 plus $10 license issuance fee) online, by mail (check or money order payable to Registration Fee Trust, DMV Communication Center, P.O. Box 7983, Madison, WI 53707-7983), or in person at a DMV service center.
- Confirm your driving privilege is valid with the online status check.

Need to drive to work while suspended? The state offers a Occupational License. Many states limit these licenses to certain suspensions, such as DUI cases, so check that it covers yours.
