The Department of Regulation and Licensing and related professional boards protect the citizens of Wisconsin by ensuring the safe and competent practice of licensed professionals.
We serve the public and the professionals we regulate by fairly administering education, experience, and examination requirements, setting professional practice standards, and ensuring compliance by enforcing occupational licensing laws.
The Department
is organized into four divisions; Professional Credential Processing,
Board Services, Enforcement, and Management Services, along with the
Office of the Secretary.
The Department
licenses and regulates 132 different types of credentials in more than
58 professional fields. The agency’s 114.32 FTE employees issue
approximately 27,500 new credentials each year and renews more than
350,000 credential holders each biennium. The agency also provides centralized
administrative services to 64 boards, councils, and advisory committees.
The boards, councils, and advisory committees have varying levels of
responsibility and professional oversight based on statutory provisions.
