Tip: Avoid distractions — stay in the post.
Things to bring:

- Your best smile (because who doesn't love a happy certificate seeker?).
The perk? You walk out a certified copy richer...literally.
QuickTip: Repetition signals what matters most.

Feeling more Netflix and chill than paperwork patrol? The City of Milwaukee offers a mail-order option too. Just download the application, fill it out with your fanciest penmanship, and send it off with a copy of your ID. Easy peasy!

Word to the wise: Allow some extra time for the mail to work its magic.
