Facts About Illinois Drivers Charged with DUI in Wisconsin

Illinois drivers charged with DUI in the State of Wisconsin face serious potential consequences to their driving privileges and freedom. If convicted of a Wisconsin DUI (OWI in Wisconsin), the Illinois Secretary of State will revoke the driving privileges of an Illinois driver for a minimum of 1 year – even longer if the Illinois driver has any prior DUI offenses at any point in their life.

Furthermore, if an Illinois driver has a prior DUI-related offense, a Wisconsin DUI conviction will result in mandatory jail sentencing. Jail sentences are mandatory for any second or subsequent DUI offense in Wisconsin. Therefore, aside from the loss of Illinois driving privileges, Illinois drivers risk employment complications and effects to families, if sentenced to jail following an Wisconsin DUI conviction.
