Request incidents that prevent you from obtaining a DMV product

Find out if you have any restrictions (incidents) against your record that would prevent you from obtaining a vehicle product. There is no fee for this service. Please note that certain incidents affecting your vehicle title/registration may also affect your driving privilege. Use the Driver license status check and/or Reinstatement eligibility to ensure that your driving privilege is valid.

What are incidents?

• Administrative suspension for a bad check.
• BR (Bureau of Registration Suspension/Cancellation) for not returning a product that needs correction.
• IFTA/IRP suspension of apportioned vehicle registration.
• Emissions suspension for not completing and passing the emissions test requirement or for having emissions equipment that has been identified as being tampered.
• OWI transfer title stop ordered by a court or restriction for an IID.
• Safety responsibility suspension or damage judgment suspension for not having proof of insurance in a crash (additional fees required by DMV to reinstate driver license or vehicle registration).
• TVRP – Unpaid parking citations.

You will need the following items to inquire about any restrictions (incidents) through this online system:

• If available, your Wisconsin driver license number or Wisconsin identification card number, the last four digits of your social security number, and date of birth.
• If you do not know your driver license or identification card number, you will need to enter your proper name including first, last and middle initial, your complete social security number, and date of birth.
