Occupational Operator License Instructions

Obtaining an Occupational Driver's License in Waukesha County Civil Court

Requests for Occupational Driver's Licenses are made for a variety of reasons. The Waukesha County Civil Court handles requests from Waukesha County Residents ONLY who are considered the following:

Habitual Traffic Offenders
Individuals who wish to appeal the DMV's decision to deny their application

If you do not fit either of these categories but wish to obtain an occupational driver's license, you do not need to go through the Civil Court. Instead, review the DMV's instructions for obtaining an Occupational Driver's License and take your application to a DMV Service Station.

All required documents to be filed In Person at:

Waukesha County Courthouse, Civil Court Division
515 W. Moreland Blvd, Waukesha, WI 53188
