Can you get a drivers license in Wisconsin without speaking English?
WE had an Amazon delivery at 9:15 tonight and the driver needed a signature. That was the first time a signature was needed . The driver said no abla english. |

Are you sure they had a WI license..?
I had a tenant who just got an IL license. The requirements are looser down there. (Yes, he lived here. No, I’m not up on how he got around “proving” where he lives.) But apparently it can be done and is fine enough for driving jobs. |

I made the assumption that because he was driving in Wisconsin for a job, the employer Amazon, would require a Wisconsin drivers license.

Commercial or regular??

Delivering for amazon would mean a commercial license.

View Quote No, I don't think so, not necessarily. I say this because I know several people who are, or have been in the past, UPS delivery drivers working from a hub in far northern WI who actually reside across the state line in the U.P.. They are full time residents of the State of MI, and thus have MI licenses. It's not where you work that matters, it's where you reside. This is a situation that likely only happens close to state lines. edit to add: in towns near state borders, it's not unusual for rural mail carriers to live in one state but work for the post office located in another state. Their job is also as a "delivery driver". But they have out of state license plates on the personally owned vehicles they use, and I'd assume a drivers license to match. I've seen "yoopers" delivering mail up here, in far north of WI. The post office in Land O Lakes, which is right on the state line, delivers to residents of both WI & MI on the same route... so somebody is working in a state they don't reside in. Also, if you work for USPS and your job entails driving (like a rural carrier's does) USPS issues you a federal drivers license. I worked for USPS as a rural carrier in St Germain (yep, I was a "fed") and I had one. Still have it as a "memento", along with my 1960s draft card, but it's no longer valid as that was 30 years ago. |

I think you need a CDL for any 26000# or over vehicle, excluding farm equip. School busses and hazardous cargo, even if under 26,000#, also needs one.

You can work as a driver for whoever and live somewhere else. Plenty of cross-border drivers out there. Over the road (long haul) owner-operator truckers can have it really good. They can declare residence in a state without income tax and work wherever as an independent contractor. |

Last time I was at the DMV I was reading some posting about even getting an ID without a birth certificate or anything.
Not gonna lie. I started thinking about what my alias should be. An alternative identity could be useful. |
