Minnesota DVS Service Locations
Minnesota has service locations at both DVS exam stations and deputy registrar offices throughout the state. You can visit any location — it doesn't have to be the one closest to where you live. Scheduling online is recommended to reduce wait times. Use the Minnesota DVS Location Finder to find your nearest location, check hours, and see current wait times.
