Know what makes a Minnesota ID visually unique

The cards use the state of Minnesota branding and colors, along with a custom background featuring the breaking rocks of the headwater of the Mississippi River, images of a pine forest and a canoeist enjoying the state’s natural resources.

Note: Driver and Vehicle Services began issuing redesigned driver’s licenses and identification (ID) cards in August 2018. The redesigned cards are available at all driver’s license service centers statewide and have replaced the previous design that was in use since 2004.
