A person who objects to providing a social security number due to a religious conviction, shall complete, sign, and date a statement detailing and explaining the religious objection on forms provided by the department. The department may conduct a review in Madison to determine whether the conviction detailed in the application is a seriously held religious belief of the applicant. The applicant may be required to appear at the review or to interview with a department investigator.

Trans 102.15(5m)(a) (a) Except as provided in par. (b), if a person is unable to provide documentation under sub. (3) (a), and the documents are unavailable to the person, the person may make a written petition to the administrator for an exception to the requirements of sub. (3) (a). The application shall include proof of identity required by sub. (4) and:

Trans 102.15(5m)(b) (b)

Trans 102.15(5m)(b)1. 1. If a person applies for and requests an identification card without charge for the purposes of voting and the person’s proof of name and date of birth under sub. (3) or of proof of U.S. citizenship under sub. (3m) is unavailable, the person may make a written petition to the administrator for an exception to the requirement for which proof is unavailable. The department shall provide appropriate translation for any person who is unable to read or understand the petition process instructions and related communications under this subsection or sub. (6m). The petition shall include the person’s statement under oath or affirmation of all of the following: that the person is unable to provide documentation under sub. (3) or proof of U.S. citizenship under sub. (3m); that the documents are unavailable to the person; and of the person’s name, date of birth, place of birth, and such other birth record information requested by the department, or the person’s alien or U.S. citizenship and immigration service number or U.S. citizenship certificate number.

Trans 102.15(5m)(b)2. 2. Upon receiving a petition that meets the requirements under subd. 1., the department of transportation shall forward the petition to the central office of its division of motor vehicles for processing. The administrator shall provide the person’s birth record information to the department of health services, for the sole purpose of verification by the department of health services of the person’s birth certificate information or the equivalent document from another jurisdiction, other than a province of the Dominion of Canada, or to a federal agency for the sole purpose of verifying the person’s certificate of birth abroad issued by the U.S. department of state, or of verifying the person’s alien or U.S. citizenship and immigration service number or U.S. citizenship certificate number. The administrator shall open a file containing the petition and shall create therein a report with a dated record of events, including all communication to or with the applicant. The department of transportation may not complete processing of the application prior to receiving verification under this subdivision, except as provided in subd. 3.

Trans 102.15(5m)(b)3. 3. If the department of transportation does not receive verification under subd. 2. within 30 days or receives notice under subd. 2., that the birth information provided in the application does not match that of the birth record custodian, the department of transportation shall promptly notify the person in writing of that failure to verify and request the person contact the department of transportation within 10 days. If the person does not respond within 10 days, the department of transportation shall send the person a second letter with substantially similar contents. If the person does not respond to the second letter within 10 days and the department of transportation knows the person’s telephone number, the department of transportation shall call the person on the telephone and notify the person that the birth information was not verified and request the person provide additional information within 10 days. If 30 days have elapsed since the date of the first letter sent under this subdivision without contact from the person, the department of transportation shall suspend the investigation and send written notice that the person has not responded, that the department of transportation has no further leads for it to locate or obtain secondary documentation or verification of birth information, that the department of transportation has suspended its investigation or research until such time as the person contacts the department of transportation, and that if within 180 days after the date of the written notice the person fails to contact the department of transportation the petition will be denied and no further identification card receipts will be issued under sub. (6m). If the person fails to contact the department of transportation within 180 days after the department of transportation suspends the investigation, the administrator shall deny the petition in writing and shall inform the person that the department of transportation will resume the investigation if the person contacts the department of transportation to discuss the petition. Whenever the applicant contacts the department of transportation to discuss the petition, the investigation under this subdivision shall begin anew, notwithstanding any prior denial due to the person’s failure to timely respond. The applicant shall act in good faith and use reasonable efforts to provide additional information that could reasonably lead the department of transportation to discover correct birth information or secondary documentation as described in subd. 3g., to assist the department of transportation in processing the application. The administrator shall investigate the petition and any additional information provided under this subdivision with prompt and due diligence and shall use reasonable efforts to locate and obtain the secondary documentation by pursuing leads provided by the person. Investigations may only be completed within the division of motor vehicles’ central office by employees whose regular job duties include investigation and fraud detection and prevention. If the investigation discovers new or corrected birth information, the department of transportation shall resubmit the new or corrected birth information to the department of health services for verification under subd. 2. The department of transportation shall pay any actual, necessary fees required by the record custodian to obtain the secondary documentation.

Trans 102.15(5m)(b)3g. 3g. If the department of health services does not verify the birth record information within 30 days, the department of transportation may issue an identification card to the person only if the department of transportation receives verification under subd. 2., if the person provides proof required under sub. (3) or (3m), or if the department of transportation receives other secondary documentation acceptable to the administrator and deemed sufficient under subd. 3., which may include the following:

Trans 102.15(5m)(b)3g.a. a. Baptismal certificate.

Trans 102.15(5m)(b)3g.h. h. Other documentation deemed acceptable to the administrator, within the administrator’s reasonable discretion.

Trans 102.15(5m)(b)4. 4. Notwithstanding Trans 102.15 (1), in this paragraph “unavailable” means that the applicant does not have the document and would be required to pay a government agency to obtain it.

Trans 102.15(5m)(c) (c) The administrator may delegate to the deputy administrator or to a bureau director, as described in s. 15.02 (3) (c) 2., Stats., whose regular responsibilities include driver licensing and identification card issuance, the authority to accept or reject such extraordinary proof of name, date of birth, or U.S. citizenship under this subsection.

Trans 102.15(5m)(f) (f) If the administrator, or delegate described in par. (c), determines that an applicant has knowingly made a false statement or knowingly concealed a material fact or otherwise committed a fraud in an application, petition or additional information, the department of transportation shall immediately suspend the investigation, shall notify the person in writing of the suspension and the reason for the suspension, and refer any suspected fraud to law enforcement.

Trans 102.15(5m)(g) (g) A person whose petition is suspended or denied due to a failure to respond timely may revive the petition at any time by contacting the department to discuss the petition application. If a person revives a petition the department shall immediately issue, and shall continue to reissue, an identification card receipt to the person as provided in sub. (6m), except that the department shall first require the person to take a photograph if required under sub. (6m).

Trans 102.15(5m)(h) (h) The administrator shall grant a petition if he or she concludes, on the basis of secondary documentation or other corroborating information, that it is more likely than not that the name, date of birth and U.S. citizenship provided in the application is correct.

Trans 102.15(6) (6) Temporary driver receipt. The Department may issue a temporary driver receipt for operation of class D or M vehicles to a person who is temporarily unable to meet the identification requirements of sub. (3). The temporary driver receipt shall state the date of issue, shall be clearly marked “NOT VALID FOR IDENTIFICATION,” and shall be validated for the operation of a vehicle for a stated period of up to 60 days from the date issued. The person may complete his or her license application within this period by presenting proof of the person’s name and date of birth in accordance with sub. (3) (a).

Trans 102.15(6m) (6m) Temporary identification card receipt.

Trans 102.15(6m)(a) (a) Issuance process. The department shall issue an identification card receipt under s. 343.50 (1) (c), Stats., to any person who has applied for an identification card without charge for the purposes of voting and who makes a written petition under s. Trans 102.15 (5m). The department shall issue the receipt not later than the sixth working day after the person made the petition and shall deliver the receipt by first-class mail, except that if a petition is filed or revived within 7 days before or 2 days after a statewide election the department shall issue a receipt not later than 24 hours after the petition is filed or revived and shall deliver the receipt by overnight or next-day mail. The department shall issue a new receipt to the person not later than 10 days before the expiration date of the prior receipt, and having a date of issuance that is the same as the expiration date of the prior receipt. The department shall issue no receipt to a person after the denial of a petition under sub. (5m) (b) 3., unless the person revives an investigation under sub. (5m) (g). The department shall continue to reissue identification card receipts to a person unless the department cancels the identification card receipt upon the circumstances specified in s. 343.50 (10), Stats., upon the issuance of an operator’s license or identification card to the person, upon the person’s request, upon the denial of the application, upon return to the department of a receipt as non-deliverable, upon the person’s failure to contact the department to discuss the petition for a period of 180 days or more, or whenever the department receives information that prohibits issuance of an identification card under s. 343.50 (1) (c), Stats. The department shall require the person to take a photograph prior to reissuing an identification card receipt if the photograph of the person on file with the department is 8 or more years old.

Trans 102.15 Note Note: Because the Department must issue an identification card receipt for voting purposes to any person who makes a qualified application under s. Trans 102.15 (5m), the Department may not deny issuance of an identification card receipt due to a name or date of birth mismatch, spelling error or other typographical error on a supporting document, nor due to the inability to confirm or correct information with another federal, state or local governmental agency.

Trans 102.15(6m)(b) (b) Contents. An identification card receipt issued under this subsection shall constitute a temporary identification card while the application is being processed under s. Trans 102.15 (5m) and shall be valid for a period not to exceed the period specified in s. 343.50 (1) (c), Stats. The department shall clearly mark the receipt “FOR VOTING PURPOSES ONLY” as validated for use for voting as provided in ss. 5.02 (6m) (d) and 6.79 (2) (a), Stats. A receipt issued under this subsection shall contain the information specified under s. 343.17 (3), Stats., including the date of issuance, the expiration date, the name and signature of the person to whom it was issued and, except as authorized in s. 343.50 (4g), Stats., a photograph of the individual to whom it was issued, and may contain such further information as the department deems necessary.

Trans 102.15(6m)(c) (c) Replacement. The department shall issue a replacement identification card receipt under par. (a) upon request of the person to whom it is issued if the receipt is lost or destroyed.

Trans 102.15(6m)(d) (d) Cancellation or refusal. Notwithstanding par. (a), the department shall cancel or refuse to issue an identification card receipt under this subsection upon the circumstances specified in s. 343.50 (10), Stats., upon the issuance of an operator’s license or identification card to the person, upon the person’s request, upon the denial of the application, upon return to the department of a receipt as non-deliverable, or whenever the department receives information that prohibits issuance of an identification card under s. 343.50 (1) (c), Stats.

Trans 102.15(6m)(e) (e) Address changes. Whenever any person, after receiving an identification card receipt under this subsection, moves from the address named in the application or in the receipt issued to the person or is notified by the local authorities or by the postal authorities that the address so named has been changed, the person shall, within 30 days, notify the department of the person’s change of address. Upon receiving a notice of change of address, the department shall promptly issue a new receipt under par. (a) showing the correct address and having the expiration date of the prior receipt.

Trans 102.15(7) (7) Additional documentation. The department may require additional documentation or proof of identity beyond the minimum requirements of this section from an applicant if the department has been notified that the person is or may be a victim of identity theft.

Trans 102.16 Trans 102.16 Operator’s license and license endorsement issuance periods.

Trans 102.16(1) (1) Original, reinstated and probationary licenses. Reinstated licenses, probationary licenses, and original licenses other than instruction permits and license endorsements shall expire 2 years from the licensed person’s next birthday, or on the date that the person’s legal presence in the United States is no longer authorized, whichever occurs sooner. If the expiration date of a person’s probationary license is the date the person’s legal presence in the United States is no longer authorized, and the person’s legal presence is extended, the department may reissue the probationary license with an expiration date of the latest date determined under this section at the time of initial issuance or the date that the person’s legal presence in the United States is no longer authorized, whichever occurs sooner. The department may not, as a consequence of expiration dates based on the person’s legal presence in the United States, require any person to possess a probationary license beyond the latest date determined under this section at the time of initial issuance.

Trans 102.16 Note Note: See s. 343.20 (1) (a), Stats.

Trans 102.16(3m) (3m) License extensions. A regular license issued by the department may be extended by the department for 4 years from the expiration date of the license if the department has selected the license for 4 year extension rather than renewal in order to balance the number of licenses that will expire in future years. The department may not extend an expiration date under this subsection beyond the date that the person’s presence in the United States is legally authorized. The department may consider a person’s driving history in deciding whether to extend the person’s license. Vision examinations may not be required for extensions.
