If you are a driver moving into Minnesota from another state, certain U.S. territories, or Canada, it may be possible for you to get a license by passing the appropriate written test(s) and vision test only. To be able to do this you must have a valid driver’s license (or one which has been expired less than one year) from your former home state and a certified copy of your birth certificate.
