MyWisconsin ID

The State of Wisconsin and the DNR are committed to providing customers with secure access to systems. As part of this commitment, the DNR, along with all other state agencies, is planning a significant upgrade to authentication systems, transitioning from the current Web Access Management Systems (WAMS) and Wisconsin Logon Management System (WILMS) platforms to the new, state-of-the-art MyWisconsin ID system, provided by Department of Administration (DOA). A MyWisconsin ID is a single personal account for each customer, providing secure access to state agency systems. The goal of the DNR is to migrate all systems used by customers, currently using WAMS or WILMS to MyWisconsinID. This migration will continue through 2025.

Why It's Important

The current login systems (WAMS & WILMS) were built with old technology and will no longer be available after December 2026. MyWisconsin ID uses modern authentication, which provides better functionality and security improvements, including fighting against identity theft.

What To Expect

Customers needing to access a DNR system using a WAMS ID will need a MyWisconsin ID. MyWisconsin ID is person-specific; it is not a facility or company ID. Customers may already have a MyWisconsin ID due to interactions with other state agencies. This same MyWisconsin ID can be used with DNR systems as they are migrated to MyWisconsin ID.
