Minnesota Drivers License Address Change Information

You must act quickly once you change your address. The law in Minnesota gives you a thirty (30) day period for you to visit the Driver and Vehicle Services office to make the change. This is very important, or you will be in violation and could be subject to fines. On top of this, by not having a current address on file, you will not receive important notices about your license. 

You must go In Person (read below) to either apply for a replacement / duplicate or a renewal. Renewal is usually better if your license is about to expire. Read more about how to renew a Minnesota license here.
