The at home online knowledge test will no longer be available starting July 2.
This feature was only available during the state’s peacetime emergency, which ends on July 1, 2021. Knowledge tests remain available at DPS-DVS exam stations or through a third party tester.
As a result of legislation signed into law by Gov. Tim Walz, the Minnesota Department of Public Safety Driver and Vehicle Services division (DPS-DVS) developed an online class D knowledge testing system. This system allows driver education programs and other authorized businesses to proctor the class D knowledge tests for Minnesotans. DPS-DVS is working with driving schools, school districts, deputy registrar offices and driver's license agent offices that are interested in this opportunity.
