Wisconsin Act 240 - Credentialing DACA Recipients
DSPS is finalizing registration in the federal SAVE program. This is a necessary step to help our agency verify Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) status as we implement legislation allowing eligible DACA recipients to obtain an occupational license in Wisconsin.
The SAVE program requires both DACA and employment authorization. DACA applicants should have their current Employment Authorization Document (EAD card) available to complete license application.
Pursuant to 2019 Wisconsin Act 17, the Sign Language Interpreter credential (license ending in -150) has been repealed and recreated as:
- Sign language interpreter – advanced hearing license
- Sign language interpreter – advanced deaf license
Moving forward, navigate to the Sign Language Interpreter - Advanced Hearing or Sign Language Interpreter - Advanced Deaf page as this page will be retired.
For questions relating to your Sign Language Interpreters license, please contact the Department of Safety and Professional Services at (608) 266-2112 or email dspscredsignlanguageinterpreters@wisconsin.gov.
