Before obtaining a driver’s license, a person must pass a knowledge test, a vision check and a road test. A driver moving into Minnesota from out of state or Canada, or someone whose Minnesota license has expired for more than one year, but less than five years, will not be required to take the road test.

When applying for a license, people need identification with full name and date of birth. To take the road test, you must show ID, provide your own vehicle for the test and have correctly operating safety equipment.
