Each applicant must show proof of residency. Acceptable forms include State issued driver's license or I.D., utility bill, bank statement, or lease agreement. You do not have to be a Wisconsin resident to apply. Each applicant must provide their Social Security number if they have one.

These 6 days do not include weekends or federal holidays. In most cases, the day in which you apply will not be included in the waiting period.
