Notes
Wisconsin does not require a statewide occupational license for carpenters. Dwelling contractors and their qualifiers must be certified by the Wisconsin Department of Safety and Professional Services (https://dsps.wi.gov), but individual carpenters working as employees do not need a state-issued license.
