If you are a Minnesota motorist in the process of moving or otherwise changing your address, you must obtain a new, updated license. You must apply within 30 days of the move or address change to comply with Minnesota law.

Part of the importance of applying for an updated (duplicate) Minnesota driver's license is the fact that important information about your driving privileges, license renewal, and other matters are sent to the address that Minnesota has on record, which is also displayed on the license itself.

To obtain a new, updated Minnesota driver's license or ID card when moving or changing your address within the state, you should apply for one at a Minnesota driver's license office location.

The process is fairly simple, as Minnesota Driver and Vehicle Services (DVS) officials will use your existing license, ID, or photo on file to verify your identity. If DVS does not have a photo on file, or you have changed your name, you will need to provide additional identification.

The fee for an updated or replacement Minnesota license is $13.50 (include a $1.75 technology surcharge)
