How long does it take to process a license application?

The processing time for a license application varies depending on the type of license requested and the completeness of the application submitted. Generally, the Wisconsin Department of Regulation and Licensing strives to process applications within four to six weeks. However, certain licenses may require additional documentation or involve complex reviews, which may prolong the processing time. Applicants are encouraged to carefully review the specific requirements for their desired license and ensure all necessary documents are included to expedite the process. Moreover, submitting an incomplete or inaccurate application may result in delays. The Department is committed to efficient processing while maintaining thorough evaluations to ensure compliance with regulations and protect the public interest.
