Neenah, Wisconsin, in Winnebago County, has about 28,000 residents (2024 Census Bureau estimate). A traffic ticket written in Neenah is a court case in the Winnebago County Circuit Court; a city with a municipal court tries its own, and the conviction it ends in goes on the driving record kept by the Wisconsin Division of Motor Vehicles. This guide says which court takes the ticket, who writes them and where the driving record lives.

The Driving Record and the Wisconsin Division of Motor Vehicles
The driving record is a separate document from the court file. It is kept by the Wisconsin Division of Motor Vehicles, which adds each conviction the court reports and handles suspensions; the court does not issue driving records.
Paying a ticket is a conviction, reported to the Wisconsin Division of Motor Vehicles like any other; contesting it means a plea of not guilty entered with the court by the date on the ticket.
An OWI is a criminal charge rather than a ticket, with its own license case before the Division of Motor Vehicles (see Neenah DUI).
