The MV2388 is the official Wisconsin Department of Transportation (DOT) application for a Hobbyist License Plate. This special plate is designed for vehicle enthusiasts who own a hobby vehicle—cars, trucks, motorcycles, or other specially‑built machines that are driven only occasionally.
Unlike standard plates, Hobbyist plates are non‑expiring as long as you retain ownership of the vehicle. However, they cannot be used during the month of January unless you purchase a temporary plate (form MV2750). Filling out the MV2388 correctly the first time saves you time, money, and a trip to the DMV.
With Formize’s fillable PDF feature, you can complete the entire application directly in your browser—no printing, scanning, or manual data entry required. Just click the “Fill out this form” button, let the Formize PDF Filler load, and start typing.
After you submit the completed form, you’ll receive a downloadable copy for your records and instructions on where to mail or drop off the application.
Any Wisconsin resident who owns a vehicle primarily used for hobby purposes—such as shows, club events, or occasional recreational driving—can apply using MV2388.
The plates are tied to vehicle ownership rather than a renewal cycle. As long as you keep the vehicle and the plate, you won’t need to renew annually.
No. Hobbyist plates are not valid during January. You must purchase a temporary plate (form MV2750) if you need to operate the vehicle that month.
Yes. The current fee is listed on the MV2388 form and is payable to the Wisconsin DOT when you submit the application.
If you choose to submit electronically, printing isn’t required. However, some DMV offices may still ask for a printed copy, so keep a PDF handy.
Contact the Wisconsin DOT’s Vehicle Services Division at (608) 264‑7447. They can guide you on correcting or re‑filing the MV2388.
Processing typically takes 2–4 weeks after the Wisconsin DOT receives a complete application and payment.
Yes, you can transfer the plate, but you must submit a new MV2388 for the new vehicle and surrender the old plate.
The official Wisconsin DOT version is only in English. If you need assistance, contact your local DMV office for translation help.
Include proof of ownership (title), a current vehicle inspection, and payment receipt. Check the form’s checklist for the full list.
