Wisconsin DSPS Making Regular Adjustment to License Fees

The Wisconsin Department of Safety and Professional Services (DSPS) has published an updated fee schedule that includes adjustments to initial license applications and renewals for some professions.

“We’ve always worked to align fees to the cost of work to support the profession,” said DSPS Secretary Dan Hereth. “We’re keeping that approach and adjusting appropriately.”

Trades licenses will see no adjustment and the cost of most business and health licenses will also remain the same. Most impacted professions, like nurses and dentists, will see a fee adjustment of less than $20 for a two-year renewal. Physicians will see a more significant increase. Their fee for a Wisconsin license will rise to $120 every two years.

“Most licenses will not experience a fee change and all license fees remain lower than they were in 2018,” Hereth explained. “I am proud to continue this administration’s efforts to ensure we have one of the lowest licensing fee structures in the United States.”

The updated fees are posted here on the DSPS website and take effect for initial and renewal applications that open in August.
