The COVID-19 driver’s license and ID card extension ended March 31. Renew now!

Renew online if you hold a standard driver’s license or ID and don’t need to change your name or address.
Pre-apply if renewing in person to save time on your office visit and ensure you have the documents needed to complete your application.
Check office hours and locations before your visit. Many offices require appointments due to COVID-19.
Visit a DPS-DVS exam station Mon.-Fri. No appointments required.
REAL ID is optional. Minnesotans who already have a passport or passport card have what they need to fly or enter federal facilities now and after Oct. 1, 2021.
Request an application packet if you are not in Minnesota right now.
Email DPS-DVS if you need additional assistance.
