​​​​​​​​​​​​What is the Veterans License Fee Waiver Program?
Only one initial license fee waiver from any agency will be allowed per qualified applicant.
The fee waiver applies only to licenses that are issued to individuals, and not to licenses issued to businesses or other entities.

The WDVA determines eligibility for this program. To be qualified for a fee waiver, a veteran must be a Wisconsin resident and must have been honorably discharged from the U.S. armed forces.
