Wisconsin DMV Official Government Site - Obtaining a Voter ID card

[Scuba]

Barring another court decision, voter ID will be required in November.


http://www.dot.wisconsin.gov/drivers/drivers/apply/idcard.htm

Any Wisconsin resident who does not presently hold a valid driver license (from Wisconsin or another jurisdiction) may apply for an ID card. You may not hold a valid driver license and an ID card at the same time. If you hold a valid driver license and wish to obtain an ID card, you will be required to surrender your driver license.

There is no age limit to apply for an ID card.

When applying for an original ID card you must visit a DMV service center, complete form MV3004 (Wisconsin Identification Card (ID) application) and provide:

-- Proof of name and date of birth, for example, a certified U.S. birth certificate, valid passport or certificate of naturalization. (See petition process if fees arise in order to obtain free ID card for voting).

-- Proof of identity (usually a document with a signature or photo).

-- Proof of Wisconsin residency.

-- Proof of U.S. citizenship, legal permanent resident status, legal conditional resident status or legal temporary visitor status. (See petition process if fees arise in order to obtain free ID card for voting).

-- Your social security number.

Note: If you have held a driver license in the past eight years and now wish to apply for an original ID card, you would only be required to provide proof of identity upon application for your ID card.

1. If you want a free one, you also need form MV3012

Form 3012 is the petition where you list place and date of birth and parents' names. Also bring any available proof of date and place of birth, such as :

Baptismal records
Hospital birth records
Delayed birth certificate
Census record
Early school records
Family bible record
Doctor’s record of post-natal care
Other documentation of name/date of birth

(As of today, I don't find anything on the DOT website about those extra methods of proof. How are people supposed to know? Oh, yeah...)

3. If the person was born before 1940, census records should be available

If some needs a 1940 or early census lookup, I might be able to help. PM the details and I can see if I can get the image of the census page.
