Exam Station Services

Please Note: In order to properly serve customers in line for a service or transaction, DVS exam stations may not be able to assist customers who arrive during the final hour of business. Customers will be informed when they arrive if a transaction cannot be completed that day. This may happen prior to posted hours for each service type. Hours vary by service type and location.

Road Construction

Due to ongoing road construction on 35W please follow posted detour routes to access the Arden Hills Exam Station.

Online Pre-Application

A pre-application feature in the new driver's license system allows Minnesotans to enter a significant portion of their driver's license or ID card application online - including REAL ID applications - reducing the time spent in driver's license offices. The new feature is also available on mobile devices.

Remember that a REAL ID is optional and Minnesotans do not need one to fly domestically until Oct. 1, 2020.

Save time and fill out our online pre-application!
