1. How do I make an appointment for a behind-the-wheel road test or written test?

You will need to call an exam station, as they are the only offices providing testing at this time (St. Peter is not an exam station). To find a testing location nearest you, use the search tool located on the MN Driver and Vehicle Services website.

If you purchase registration for your vehicle prior to the end of the month in which registration is due, you have 10 days to display the new registration stickers. If purchased after the registration month is over, you do not have a grace period. For more information, visit the MNDOT website.
