LicensE Customer Information


Now Live: Easier Online License Applications and ​Renewals!

​LicensE is your online, self-guided occupational license application platform. 

Please review the helpful links below:

  • Find step-by-step instruction for license renewal here.
  • Find a list of license renewals available via LicensE in the chart below. To renew other licenses, click HERE. If you already have a pending application, you should not apply again in LicensE. Note that applicants who apply multiple times will be charged for each application.
  • Find all licenses available via LicensE, plus user guides and other resources, in the chart below and on the LicensE User Guides and Videos​ page.
  • Anyone applying for an initial license for any of the credentials listed can apply at license.wi.gov.

Who can use LicensE? Applicants for initial health care and business licenses are our primary LicensE users, but we know many other organizations and institutions will need to submit documents through the platform. Anyone who is not an applicant or a DSPS employee is considered a LicensE third-party user. Third-parties include educational institutions, employers, testing centers, and any other individual or entity who needs to supply documentation on behalf of an applicant. Please see our Additional Resources for third-party user guides, demo videos, and more.

​​​Our LicensE Application Status Lookup ​tool makes it easier for employees, and helps academic advisors support students during the license application process. To access the Application Status Lookup tool, you will need the applicant's 10-digit PAR number. An applicant may provide the number to anyone who could support their application. Find more information in our news release about this tool. ​
