Is the DMV open today in Wisconsin?

In Wisconsin, driver licensing is handled by the Wisconsin Division of Motor Vehicles (Wisconsin Department of Transportation). Its offices close on the state's holiday schedule below — and on weekends. If today isn't one of those, offices run normal business hours.

Wisconsin gives state offices nine paid holidays, and the list does not include Presidents Day, Juneteenth, Columbus Day or Veterans Day.

Independence Day falls on a Saturday in 2026 and Wisconsin adds no substitute weekday off for it.

Weekend holidays can be observed on the nearest weekday, and a few states handle that differently — the notes above call it out where Wisconsin does. The final word is always the agency's own page.

Checked against the Wisconsin Division of Motor Vehicles (Wisconsin Department of Transportation) and the state's published holiday schedule, verified August 2026. When a schedule for a new year has not been published yet, this page says so — it never guesses.
