Minnesota Local DMV Office FAQs

1. How do I renew my Minnesota driver’s license?

Minnesota offers several convenient options for renewing your driver’s license. If you meet the eligibility requirements—such as having a current, unexpired license with no significant changes to your personal information—you may be able to renew online through the Minnesota Driver and Vehicle Services (DVS) website. Otherwise, you can visit a local DVS office in person, where you’ll need to bring your current license along with the required proof of identity and residency. In-person renewals typically include a vision screening.

2. What documents are required to register a vehicle in Minnesota?

To register your vehicle in Minnesota, you must provide proof of ownership, which is usually your vehicle title or a bill of sale if you’re transferring from another state. In addition, you’ll need to complete the registration application and present proof of Minnesota auto insurance. You must also show documentation that verifies your residency, such as a utility bill or lease agreement. Depending on your vehicle’s history, additional inspections or a VIN verification may be required.

3. How do I transfer my out‑of‑state driver’s license to Minnesota?

New residents in Minnesota are required to obtain a Minnesota driver’s license within 60 days of establishing residency. To transfer your out‑of‑state license, visit a local DVS office with your current license, acceptable proof of identity (such as a passport or birth certificate), your Social Security documentation, and two documents that verify your Minnesota residency. A vision test is usually required, and if your out‑of‑state license is expired or nearly expired, you may also need to pass a written exam.
