How to get a driver's license in Minnesota
This page explains, step by step, how to get a Minnesota driver’s license for a regular car and which documents to bring. In Minnesota, Driver and Vehicle Services (DVS), a division of the Minnesota Department of Public Safety, is the agency behind the driver’s license and the driver’s manual, and its exam stations give the tests. This guide is based on the DVS website pages, read in October 2026 from Internet Archive captures taken between January and April 2026, and on the June 2026 edition of the Minnesota Driver’s Manual. Where those sources do not say the same thing, this guide leaves the point out or tells you to check the DVS page. Requirements change, so check the DVS website before you go.

How it works
Who does what
In Minnesota, Driver and Vehicle Services (DVS), a division of the Minnesota Department of Public Safety, is the agency behind the driver’s license and the Minnesota Driver’s Manual. Driver’s license and motor vehicle services are available at more than 200 locations across the state. You can get a paper application for a Class D license at any driver’s license office or DVS exam station, and you apply for the instruction permit at a DVS exam station or a driver’s license agent. Class D written tests are given at DVS exam stations or through a third-party tester.
Which license this guide covers
This guide covers the Class D license, the regular license and the most common one for Minnesota drivers. It is required to operate a vehicle weighing 26,000 pounds or less. The guide also covers the instruction permit and the provisional license that lead to it.
What you need before you drive
To drive on public streets or highways in Minnesota, you need a valid, unexpired driver’s license. If you have never had a driver’s license in any state or country, you must pass a written test and a vision test, apply for an instruction permit and pass a road test.

The graduated path
Minnesota uses a graduated driver’s licensing system with three phases: Phase I is the instruction permit, Phase II is the provisional license and Phase III is the full license. New drivers who are 18 and older have different requirements from new drivers under 18; those are described in the sections below.
Study and apply ahead of time
DVS tells applicants to start by downloading the driver’s manual in their preferred language. The pre-application in DVS online services lets you complete much of the application online; start it no more than 30 days before you visit a driver’s license office. DVS online services also let you schedule or reschedule a road test or a Class D written test.
Fees and scams
Driver services fees are set by the Minnesota Legislature. This guide gives no amounts because they change; the complete list is on the DVS fees page, linked below. DVS also says to use only Minnesota DVS exam stations and driver’s license agent offices, and to trust fees only from the DVS fees page.
If you are under 18
Take driver education
Getting your license as a teenager requires education in a classroom and behind the wheel of a car. To get your instruction permit, you must complete 30 hours of classroom instruction and be enrolled in behind-the-wheel instruction, or be enrolled in a concurrent driver education course and have completed the first 15 classroom hours. For the written test you need your certificate of enrollment: the Blue Card, which shows that you completed classroom instruction and signed up for behind-the-wheel instruction, or the Pink Card, which shows that you are enrolled in a concurrent course and have completed the first 15 classroom hours.
Get your instruction permit
The instruction permit is the first step. You must be at least 15 years old, and Minnesota law does not allow a person under 15 to drive. You must pass the Class D written test and a vision check. You apply at a DVS exam station or a driver’s license agent. Bring the classroom completion (blue or pink) card at the time of your written test and application.
Bring a parent or guardian
If you are under 18, your parent or legal guardian comes with you to apply for the instruction permit, and a legal guardian brings proof of guardianship. Your application must be approved by a parent, a court-appointed guardian, a county-appointed foster parent or the director of the transitional living program where you live. If a parent or legal guardian is not available when you apply, DVS needs their notarized signature on the application.
Accepted proof of guardianship
Proof of guardianship that DVS accepts includes:
- a certified court order;
- guardian ad litem paperwork;
- foster parent documentation;
- emancipation documentation;
- a Delegation of Parenting Authority;
- transitional living documentation.

Practice with a supervising driver
Your permit is valid for two years of practice driving with a licensed supervising driver sitting in the front passenger seat, and it is illegal to practice driving without a valid instruction permit. If you are under 18, the supervising driver must be 21 or older. You must have your instruction permit with you at all times when you drive. The two years count from the day you apply.
Keep a supervised driving log
Your supervised driving must be recorded on the DVS supervised driving log; logs completed on any other document are not accepted. If a parent or guardian takes the supplemental parent class and has a certificate from a Minnesota-approved program, the log must show at least 40 hours of supervised driving, 15 of them at night. If they do not take the parent class, the log must show at least 50 hours, 15 of them at night. You present the log at the time of the road test and submit it with the application for the provisional license.
Hold the permit
If you are 18 or younger, you must hold your instruction permit for at least six months (180 days) before taking the road test. To qualify for the provisional license, you must have held the permit for that time with no convictions for moving violations or alcohol or controlled-substance violations.
Pass the road test and get your provisional license
To qualify for the provisional license, you must be at least 16, have completed the classroom and behind-the-wheel parts of driver education, have held the permit for the required time, submit the supervised driving log and pass a road test. For the road test, bring proof of completing six hours of behind-the-wheel training (the certificate of completion, or white card), your printed driving log and, if it applies, the parent certificate of completion. Also bring a vehicle to test in and proof of insurance for that vehicle. A parent or legal guardian comes with you to apply for the provisional license. Exceptions to the age of 16 are for farm work and medical licenses.
If your permit is lost or has expired
If your instruction permit is lost or expired, you can apply for a new permit. The new permit is valid for two years from the day you apply.
Source: [1]
Rules for young drivers
The provisional license
The provisional license is the second phase of the graduated system. It is valid for two years from the date you apply and has restrictions that do not apply to a full driver’s license.
Night driving
During the first six months of a provisional license, you must not drive from midnight to 5 a.m. unless you are accompanied by a licensed driver who is at least 25 years old, driving to or from work, driving between home and a school event when no school transportation is available, or driving as part of your job.
Passengers
During the first six months of a provisional license, you may have only one passenger under 20, unless a parent or guardian is with you or the passengers are members of your immediate family. During the second six months, you may have no more than three passengers under 20, unless a parent or guardian is with you. The limit does not apply to passengers under 20 who are members of your immediate family.
Cell phones
It is illegal for drivers under age 18 to use a cell phone while driving, whether it is in their hand or hands-free. The instruction permit rules for drivers under 18 say the same: you may not use or talk on a cell phone while driving, with or without a hands-free device.
Alcohol
It is illegal for anyone under age 21 to drive after consuming any amount of alcohol.

Vanessa’s Law
A teen who is not yet licensed and is convicted of a crash-related moving violation or an alcohol or controlled-substance violation cannot get a license, an instruction permit or a provisional license until age 18. A teen whose driving privileges are revoked for one of these violations cannot regain them until age 18.
Restricted licenses at 15
At age 15 you may qualify for a restricted farm work license or a restricted medical license after completing a driver education course and passing a road test, without waiting the six months of the usual path but with an instruction permit. The farm work license lets you drive alone to do farm work during daylight hours, within 40 miles of the farmhouse. The medical license is for driving yourself for personal medical reasons, or driving a relative for medical reasons or because of a disability; check the DVS page on restricted provisional licenses for who qualifies.
If you are 18 or older
A different path
New drivers age 18 and older have different requirements to get a license than new drivers under 18, with additional rules for age 19 and older. If you are 18 or older, classroom and behind-the-wheel instruction is not required for the instruction permit.
How long to hold the permit
Eighteen-year-olds who were not licensed before must hold an instruction permit for 180 days and pass a road test. If you turn 19 before your 180 days are up, you fall under the rules for a 19-year-old. Nineteen-year-olds must hold a permit for 90 days (three months) and pass a road test. A person who is 19 or older and has held an instruction permit for less than three months will not be issued a license.
Practice driving
If you are 18 or older, you must be supervised by a valid, licensed driver who is 18 or older and who is in the front seat while you practice. Everyone in the vehicle must wear a seat belt or use a child passenger restraint system. The Driver’s License for All page says to practice for 3 months if you are 19 or older and 6 months if you are 18 or younger.
If you practiced outside Minnesota
If some of your driving experience was outside Minnesota, you present the out-of-state permit or a certified driving record from that state.

When you apply
To apply, bring your permit and the documents for any REAL ID or enhanced upgrade, know your Social Security number if you are eligible for one, be ready for your photo, and bring the fee and your glasses or contacts. DVS offers accommodations for testing.

Moving to Minnesota
How soon to switch
New residents have 60 days (30 days for commercial drivers) to get a Minnesota license or permit. A resident with a valid license from another state, a Canadian province or U.S. military authority may drive in Minnesota for up to 60 days after becoming a resident before getting a Minnesota license. A Minnesota license cannot be issued until you present all your other driver’s licenses and ID cards to DVS.
Source: [1]
A valid license from another state, a U.S. territory, the military or Canada
If you are 21 or older and have a valid, unexpired, non-commercial license from another state, certain U.S. territories, the U.S. military or Canada, you can transfer it by passing a vision test and completing an application, with no written or road test. If you are under 21, you need to pass the Class D written test.
If that license has expired
If your license from another state is expired, you need to pass the Class D written test. If it has been expired for more than one year, you need to pass both the Class D written test and the road test. An out-of-state license that has been expired for more than a year may qualify for a road-test waiver for someone still in the military with an In-Service letter.
A license from another country
If your license is from a country other than the U.S. or Canada, you may need to take the written test and the road test. The DVS new-resident page explains which tests apply, so check it before you go.
Source: [5]
A permit from another state
If you are under 18 and have an out-of-state instruction permit, you meet the ID requirements, present the out-of-state permit, pass the Class D written test and have a parent or guardian sign the application. If you want to use time held on an out-of-state permit toward a Minnesota provisional license, you need proof of driver training equal to 30 classroom hours and six behind-the-wheel hours, along with a certified driving record from that state.
Before you go
Only one written test is allowed per day. You can bring a vision report from your eye doctor instead of taking the vision check at the office. For your visit, bring your documents, your passed road test if it applies, and the fee; be ready for your photo, know your Social Security number, and pre-apply for faster service.

Documents to bring
How many documents
For a standard Minnesota driver’s license or ID card, DVS asks for two primary documents, or one primary document and one secondary document. One document must contain your full name and your date of birth. The DVS list of required documents, linked below, shows which documents count as primary and which as secondary.
Source: [20]
Examples of documents
An unexpired international passport, foreign or domestic, is a primary document. A Social Security card is a secondary document.
Source: [20]
Originals only
DVS cannot accept photocopies of identification documents and may confiscate fraudulent documents. Documents will not be accepted if they are laminated or otherwise altered. For a REAL ID, the documents you present must be original.
Identification for the tests
To take the written and road tests, you must present proper identification that verifies your first, middle and last name and your date of birth.
Source: [1]
If your name has changed
If the names on your documents do not match your current legal name, you need proof of the legal name changes. Acceptable proof consists of certified marriage certificates, certified divorce decrees or other certified court orders.
Source: [20]
Documents not in English
Any document in a language other than English must be accompanied by a translation and a translation attestation. The manual says you must provide a qualified English translation, and that the Certificate of Translation form is available at DVS exam stations and driver’s license offices.
Your Social Security number
If you are eligible for a Social Security number, you must give it on the application form. If you are eligible and do not provide it, Minnesota cannot process your application for a driver’s license or identification card.
Driver’s License for All
Since Oct. 1, 2023, the Driver’s License for All law lets a person get a standard license, learner’s permit or state ID card regardless of immigration status. DVS does not ask whether, or track whether, a person is undocumented when they apply for a standard license or ID card. For a standard license, you show two documents, one with your full name and date of birth, and give a Minnesota home address. You also pass the Class D written knowledge test and the road skills test. The Driver’s License for All page lists the required documents in English and has a certificate of translation form.
What a standard card cannot be used for
Starting May 7, 2025, a standard driver’s license or ID card cannot be used to get through security checkpoints at U.S. airports, to enter U.S. military bases or to enter federal buildings, including some courthouses.
Source: [9]
REAL ID and enhanced cards
Standard and REAL ID cards
Minnesotans 18 years of age or older can no longer use a standard driver’s license or identification card to board domestic flights or enter certain federal facilities. A standard license or ID is still good for basic things like driving, registering to vote and banking. REAL ID cards have a gold star in the top, right-hand corner.
What a REAL ID needs
Applying for a REAL ID takes more documentation than a standard license. In person, you present one document that proves your identity, date of birth and legal presence in the U.S. and two different documents that show your current Minnesota residence address, and you must know your Social Security number. If you are under 18, one proof of residence may be provided by a parent or guardian if it has the same address as the document you provide; the parent or guardian must be present in the office to certify that they are your parent or guardian and that you live at that address. You cannot list a PO Box as your residential address unless you are enrolled in Safe at Home.
How to apply
You must apply for a REAL ID in person; applications are not accepted by mail. You can pre-apply and pre-verify your REAL ID documents online before going to a license office, and at the end of the pre-application you can choose to have your documents reviewed before you visit an office.
Enhanced cards
Both REAL ID and enhanced driver’s licenses comply with the 2005 federal law. To have an enhanced card you must be a U.S. citizen and at least 16 years old, and only applicants who can prove identity, full legal name, Social Security number, photographic identity, Minnesota residency and U.S. citizenship are eligible. You are asked to complete an interview questionnaire, so allow extra time. An enhanced card is mailed to the Minnesota residential address on the card, is not eligible for remote application, and needs a new photo with every application, including renewals and duplicates.
At the exam station or license office
Appointments
Appointments are required for the Class D written test at DVS exam stations across the state, and for the road test. You make a road test appointment online or by phone. You can also schedule or reschedule a road test or a Class D written test in DVS online services.
Where to take the written test
You can take the Class D written test at a DVS exam station with an appointment, or through a third-party tester. At a third-party proctor, no interpreters or other assistance is allowed, and proctors must agree not to provide assistance during the test. All third-party online proctor locations must be approved by the commissioner before testing can begin.
Renewals, duplicates and name changes
Renewals and duplicates are handled at offices that offer them, and a name change is made at any office that offers driver’s license or ID renewals. State ID cards can be applied for at any office that accepts driver’s license applications. Before you go to renew, the pre-application feature is available for faster service.
Group oral tests
If the test is not offered in your language, you can schedule a group oral test. A group needs at least 3 and no more than 7 testers. Group oral exams are available at the Anoka, Eagan, Buffalo and downtown Saint Paul/Town Square exam stations. Show up at least 15 minutes before the appointment to check in and verify identification.
The tests
Vision screening
Vision screening takes place when you apply for or renew a license or permit. Your normal or corrected vision must be at least 20/40, and your peripheral vision must be at least 105 degrees. The vision check is a screening to see whether your vision meets minimum standards, not a medical exam. If you fail the screening or your peripheral vision is less than 105 degrees, you will be asked to see an eye doctor and return the doctor’s report to the DVS Driver Evaluation Unit.
The knowledge test
The Class D written test includes multiple-choice and true-or-false questions about Minnesota traffic laws and road signs. You must score 80 percent to pass. The test may be taken on paper or on a computer. There is no time limit at a DVS exam station. You may take only one written test per day.
Languages and audio
At exam stations offering the test on a computer, you can take it in English, several other languages or American Sign Language (ASL). Headphones are available to hear the questions as you read them. If the test is not offered in your language, you can ask for a verbal exam; it is given at DVS exam stations by appointment only, not at all stations, with a time limit of one hour. For a verbal exam you must bring your own interpreter who has a valid Minnesota driver’s license; they read the test in English and translate it into your language.
If you do not pass
Only one written test is allowed per day. The first two written tests at a DVS exam station carry no charge if you have not already tested with a proctor. If you fail two consecutive written tests, a retest fee is charged for the third and any later tests.
What to bring for the written test
For the written test, the checklist in the manual asks you to have a Class D written test appointment, the completed pre-application (done no more than 30 days before), your required identification, your Social Security number if you are eligible for one, and money for the fees. If you are under 18, also bring proof of completing driver education.
Practice for the test
You can study with the driver’s manual and take a Class D written practice test, which is available in several languages.
Source: [3]
The road test
The road test has three parts: demonstrating your vehicle’s safety equipment, showing your vehicle control skills and performing a driving test under normal traffic conditions. You need an appointment. To take the road test, present your valid instruction permit and current proof of insurance with the original insurance card or policy. If you are under 18, you must also present a supervised driving log and a certificate of course completion.
Your vehicle for the test
You must provide your own vehicle for the test. Neighborhood electric vehicles (NEVs) are not allowed. If you use a rental vehicle, you must be listed as a driver on the rental agreement. The vehicle must have doors that open from both inside and outside, working seat belts, and working headlights, taillights, turn signals and brake lights. Its registration must be current or it must have a 60-day permit. The date of your road test must fall on or between the issue date and the expiration date on your proof of insurance.
During the road test
No electronic devices or cell phone use is allowed during the test. If you are unable to pass the safety equipment demonstration, you will not be allowed to finish the road test that day. The test evaluates, among other things, parallel parking, parking on a hill and a 90-degree backing maneuver. Disobeying a traffic law, dangerous or careless driving and not cooperating with the examiner will cause you to fail the road test immediately. If a vehicle gets stuck during a road test, the test cannot be completed and counts as a failed attempt.
What the examiner does
The examiner gives instructions at least one block in advance of turns or before asking you to perform other maneuvers, and will not ask you to do anything illegal. The road test study guide says to activate your turn signal at least 100 feet before a turn, to stop before the stop line (or before the crosswalk if there is no line) and not to change lanes while you are in an intersection.
Source: [23]
If you cannot make your appointment
Cancel or reschedule your road test ahead of time. A fee may apply if you do not show up or if you cancel or reschedule too late.
If you do not pass the road test
If you fail the road test several times, additional instruction may be required before you test again. Ask DVS what applies to you.
Source: [4]
After you pass
Apply for your license
If you are 18 or older, after you pass the road test you go to an office where you apply for your full license and get your vision checked. Your temporary paper driver’s license is valid until the expiration date listed or until you receive your permanent driver’s license in the mail.
A full license
A full license is unrestricted. To qualify for a full license, you must be at least 18, or you must have held a provisional license for at least 12 consecutive months with no convictions for alcohol or controlled-substance violations or crash-related moving violations, and no more than one conviction for a moving violation that is not crash-related. If you are under 18, bring your parent or legal guardian to apply.
Source: [3]
Licenses for drivers under 21
If you are under 21, your license is marked "Under 21" and expires on your 21st birthday; it then expires every four years on your birthday. The license for a driver under 21 has a vertical orientation and a red banner showing the date you will turn 21. A license for a driver over 21 is horizontal with no banner.
Keeping your license
When your license expires
Driver’s licenses expire on your birthday, unless you have a provisional license. A driver’s license for ages 21 and older lasts four years. Instruction permits and provisional licenses are valid two years from the date of application. A standard license or ID card for someone under 21 expires on the 21st birthday; wait to renew it until no more than 60 days before that birthday.
Source: [10]
Renewing
To renew your license, you must pass a vision test, and DVS takes a photo. You can renew as early as nine months before the expiration date without shortening the renewal cycle. If your name has changed since your last renewal, bring proof of the name change; you must have changed your name with the Social Security Administration first.
If your license has been expired a long time
If your Minnesota driver’s license has been expired for more than one year but less than five years, you must pass a written test and a vision test before applying for a new license. If a card that says temporary stay has been expired for more than 5 years, you have to present primary and secondary documents and retake the written and road tests.
Replacing a lost or damaged license
If your current license is lost, damaged or destroyed, you must apply for a duplicate license. A duplicate keeps the same expiration date, while a renewal extends it. REAL ID and standard cards do not normally need a new photo to get a duplicate card.
Changing your address
To change the address on a standard license or ID, you do not need to bring proof of your new address. P.O. Boxes are not allowed as a residence address. The Post Office will not forward mail from DVS, so update your address with DVS. See the DVS address page, linked below, for the deadline that applies to you.
Source: [13]
Changing your name
If you have a Social Security number, first change your name with the Social Security Administration; your full legal name must match your Social Security card. Then go to any office that offers driver’s license or ID renewals. You must present your current driver’s license or ID and one of these: a certified marriage certificate, a certified divorce decree that specifies the name change, or a certified court order that specifies the name change.

The Minnesota ID card
What an ID card is
An ID card is proof of your identity. It does not include driving privileges, and there is no minimum age for an ID card. If you are under 21, the card is marked "Under-21." You can only hold one type of card: DVS will not issue an ID card to someone with a valid license or permit unless they have a downgrade statement.
How to apply
You can apply for a Minnesota state ID card at any office that accepts driver’s license applications. Documents will not be accepted if they are laminated or otherwise altered. Documents in a language other than English need an English translation and a certificate of translation form. You give your Social Security number on the application form if you are eligible for one. Your Minnesota driver’s license, ID or permit must have a full-face image.
