Frequently Asked Questions

Where do I place my sticker(s)?
Completely remove backing pieces and fully affix sticker by its own adhesive to the inside, lower driver’s side corner windshield. The sticker is otherwise invalid. No exceptions. The stickers for the two-vehicle package can be placed on either vehicle. Retain backing as proof of purchase.

How do I purchase a sticker for someone else if I do not know their vehicle license plate number?
License plate information is critical, as Automatic License Plate Reader System cameras will read the information for entry compliance. If you are purchasing a sticker as a gift and don't know the recipient's license plate number, please consider purchasing a GIFT CARD instead and ask the recipient to purchase their sticker.

How do I get a Replacement Sticker for a new vehicle or a new windshield?
If you are planning on replacing your vehicle or need a new windshield installed, be sure to scrape off the current year sticker and retain the remnants. Next, fill out the Annual Sticker Replacement Form, follow the instructions and mail it to Guest Services. We cannot replace lost, stolen, or misplaced stickers.

How do I update my license plate information if I get a new license plate or a new vehicle?
Please contact Guest Services to have your account information updated in our system to avoid a violation ticket.

Does my State of Wisconsin Admission Sticker work in Waukesha County?
