Wisconsin DMV Written Permit Test Questions & Answers (Test #5) 2026

To obtain a driver’s license in Wisconsin, applicants must follow a graduated licensing system. It applies to all new drivers regardless of age, and it begins with the instruction permit. You can obtain one by passing a 50-question knowledge test, passing a vision screening, enrolling in an approved driver education course, providing proof of identity and residency in Wisconsin, and paying the necessary fees. Applicants under 18 must also provide signed parental consent. You must hold your instruction permit for at least 6 months if you’re under 18 or at least 7 days if you’re at least 18 years old. After completing 30 hours of supervised driving, you can proceed to a probationary license, which is granted after passing a driving skills test. Your probationary license automatically converts to a full license after 2 years or when you turn 18 (whichever comes first).
