​APPLYING TO TAKE A MINNESOTA PEACE OFFICER LICENSING EXAM

To take one of the Minnesota peace officer licensing examinations, an applicant must submit the appropriate exam application form and the application fee of $105. Approval of the exam application is required before any licensing examination can be scheduled.

All of Minnesota’s peace officer licensing exams are administered by PSI using computer based testing (CBT). CBT allows exam applicants to choose from a variety of exam dates, times and locations including numerous sites throughout Minnesota and selected sites in other states.

Exam applicants will pay an exam registration fee of $70.00 to PSI. This is a separate fee and is not included in the $105.00 exam fee that is paid to the POST Board.

Upon submission of an application to take an exam, either through E-Licensing or through an exam application form, applicants will receive confirmation of receipt of the application by the POST Board. Applicants who are approved to take an exam will receive specific information relating to registering and scheduling an exam date at a PSI site.​

After completing the exam, PSI will notify applicants of their unofficial exam result, either a pass or fail. Applicants will then receive official confirmation of the exam result from the POST Board in a letter that can be used as proof of peace officer license eligibility.

THE LICENSE EXAMINATION APPLICATION PROCESS

Applications for some of POST Board’s licensing examinations are submitted using the state’s on-line electronic licensing system (E-Licensing). Others must be submitted using a form accessible on the POST Board website. Applicants should read the following information carefully to determine which process to use for the appropriate examination.

STATE OF MINNESOTA'S ONLINE E-LICENSING WEBSITE
