Confidential information

ID card information and certain information on juveniles (such as convictions or withdrawals for juvenile alcohol and truancy) are confidential and will otherwise only be released to courts, law enforcement and, in some cases, parents or guardians. If you want this information to appear on your driver record abstract, you will need to provide the following:

• Your Wisconsin driver license number or Wisconsin identification card number.
• Social Security number.
• Date of birth.
• Product Identification number: The Product ID is an 11-digit number found on the back of your Wisconsin identification card or driver license. If you do not have this information available, you will not be able to request a driver record displaying confidential information.

Certified copies for courts

• This application does not certify records for use in court proceedings.
• If you need a certified copy of your vehicle record, please complete the MV2896 Vehicle/Driver Record Information Request form and submit along with the appropriate fee to the address listed on the form.
