What is a Wisconsin Driver License Application- Form 3001?
Form 3001 is an application used to get a new or updated driver’s license in the state of Wisconsin in the United States. The form is submitted to the Department of Motor Vehicles or as it is popularly known- the DMV or the Wisconsin Department of Transportation (WisDOT) when it comes to the particular state.
Not just a driver’s license, form 3001 is also used to get your existing driver’s license renewed or to get an instruction permit. If you are looking to get a motor vehicle license for an occupational purpose, again form 3001 comes to the rescue.
