Getting a Minnesota driver’s license is about to become a little easier. Starting August 1st the state is dropping the requirement that out-of-state drivers take a written knowledge test.
DVS Director Pong Xiong says if eligible drivers are already licensed in another state; they’ve proven they can drive safely.
The legislative change – which had bipartisan support – is designed to increase the efficiency at licensing agent offices across the state.
DVS says it takes less than a month to get a new license. Same day service is available two office locations: Dakota County License Center in Lakeville and the Clay County Department of Motor Vehicles in Moorhead.
