Are there any exemptions or special provisions for military service members or veterans?

Yes, the Wisconsin Department of Regulation and Licensing provides exemptions and special provisions for military service members and veterans. Under the state law, veterans may be eligible for expedited application processing and fee waivers for select credentialing programs. The department recognizes military training and experience when evaluating qualifications for certain occupational licenses, allowing veterans to leverage their military skills in civilian employment. Additionally, active duty military personnel and their spouses may be granted temporary professional licenses to engage in regulated occupations, providing employment opportunities during their stay in Wisconsin. The department is committed to supporting our military service members and veterans by facilitating their transition into the civilian workforce and providing them with a streamlined licensing process and various benefits.
