When individuals with a concealed weapon license in Wisconsin experience a change in their residence or, unfortunately, lose or damage their license, they are required to navigate the specifics of the DJ-LE-285 form, as mandated by the Wisconsin Department of Justice (DOJ). This form serves a dual purpose, facilitating both the notification of a change of address and the request for a replacement license in the event that the original license is lost or destroyed. Licensees must promptly inform the DOJ of their new address within a 30 day window to avoid a potential $50 forfeiture fee as stipulated by s. 175.60 (17)(ac), Wis. Stats. Interestingly, this adjustment in address comes at no financial cost unless the licensee opts for the issuance of a new license which entails checking a specific box on the form. Additionally, it's vital for licensees to first update their address with the Department of Transportation (DOT) to ensure consistency across their legal documents. In cases of lost or destroyed licenses, the form outlines a clear pathway to obtaining a replacement by submitting a request alongside a fee of $12, an action backed by Jus 17.12(3). The form meticulously requests detailed information from the licensee, emphasizing the importance of accuracy and truthfulness to evade potential legal consequences. With strict penalties for providing false information, this process underscores the serious nature of maintaining one's concealed carry license status in Wisconsin.
