The speed limit on Fort McCoy is 30 MPH unless posted
otherwise.
Fort McCoy has an active vehicle registration
requirement. All personnel who are permanently assigned to the Fort
McCoy installation, or one of the tenant organizations located on Fort McCoy,
must register their privately owned vehicles (POV's) at the Welcome Center just
inside the Main Gate. The Directorate of Plans, Training,
Mobilization and Security (DPTMS) is the proponent for vehicle registration on
the installation. Registrants are required to show their state
vehicle registration, military/civilian ID card, and state driver's
license. If your vehicle currently possesses a DOD vehicle
registration decal from your former installation, it will be valid on Fort
McCoy; upon inprocessing you will only be required to update your address and
unit information. For specific information regarding installation
vehicle registration requirements, please contact the Traffic office, at
(608)388-4988.
If you are establishing residency in Wisconsin (renting or
owning a residence, paying WI taxes, or voting), you need to apply for a WI
driver's license within 30 days. To obtain the driver's license, a
service member must surrender their current state driver's license and show
signature ID. A vision test is required of all
individuals. Those not having a U.S. driver's license need to
complete a written and road test.
If you are not establishing WI
residency, check with your home state about driver's license renewals.
To
register a vehicle in the state of WI, you must have the title or registration
card. If you are choosing to register the vehicle in WI as a
non-resident, or if you purchased the vehicle within 90 days of becoming a
resident in WI, you must show proof of tax paid (at least 5% state and .5% local
tax).
Foreign-made vehicles have to be inspected at port-of-entry to see
if they meet EPA emission standards and receive
certification. Wisconsin needs all certifications verifying the
vehicle meets standards. You must register your vehicle immediately
upon moving to WI.
If you are not registering your vehicle in WI, check
with your state about registration of your vehicle.
