Add Checkmark To Legal Wisconsin DUI Forms For Free

Your first DUI will stay on your criminal record for the rest of your life unless you can get it expunged. Wisconsin maintains a record of a driver's DUI conviction for 10 years, and drivers are assessed six points for driving under the influence on their driving record. Those points remain for a period of five years.

If you are convicted of even a first-time OWI offense in Wisconsin, you could have your driver's license suspended or revoked for six to nine months, making your life more difficult. Fortunately, you may be able to apply for an occupational license, which would alleviate some of the hardship.

For the next 30 days after the Notice Date, the form will be considered your temporary driving permit. After those 30 days, you could lose your driver's license if you don't request an administrative review, or you lose your administrative review hearing.

An OWI charge is based on a police officer's observation that your consumption of alcohol or drugs impaired your ability to operate a motor vehicle. PAC charges focus solely on your blood alcohol concentration being above the legal limit. You can be found guilty on both charges, but you cannot be penalized for both.

You could lose your license -- even before you go to court. You must either demand an "administrative suspension hearing" or a "refusal hearing," depending on whether or not you submitted to a police blood or breath test, or refused to do so. Either way, the time limit is ten (10) days.

Wisconsin does not accept online IDP assessments or online alcohol education/counseling programs under any circumstances.
