Obtaining an Occupational Driver's License

Requests for Occupational Driver’s Licenses are made for a variety of reasons. The Waukesha County Civil Court handles requests from Waukesha County Residents ONLY who are considered the following:

• Habitual Traffic Offenders
• Individuals who wish to appeal the DMV’s decision to deny their application

If you don’t fit either of these categories but wish to obtain an occupational driver’s license, you do not need to go through the Civil Court. Instead, review the DMV's instructions for obtaining an Occupational Driver’s License and take your application to a DMV Service Station.

Habitual Traffic Offenders

Habitual Traffic Offenders are individuals who accumulate four major traffic convictions, (including those from other jurisdictions) or a combination of 12 minor and major convictions, in a five-year period. Major offenses include:

• Operating while under the influence
• Eluding an officer
• Reckless driving

For more information about habitual traffic offenders, go to the WI Department of Transportation’s Facts and Figures page.

Note: You may call (608) 266-2261 to confirm if you are considered a Habitual Traffic Offender.
