A 75-cent surcharge (previously known as the REAL ID surcharge) was added to all driver’s license fees, for a total increase of $6.75 for driver’s license fees.  \nAs of Oct. 1, 2023, filing fees for new credential applications increased to $16 and filing fees for renewal applications increased to $11. Please visit our website to view current fees.  \nDriver’s License for All  \nBeginning Oct. 1, 2023, DVS will implement Driver's License for All. This new law allows ALL Minnesotans to obtain a standard Minnesota identification card, permit or license regardless of their immigration status. The law eliminates the need to show proof of legal presence in the United States and updates the documents an individual will provide to obtain a card.  \nREAL ID Proof of Residency Changes  \nThe documents that an applicant can provide to prove their residence for REAL ID have been updated as of Aug. 1, 2023. The new proof documents include internet bills and cable bills to be used as utility bills, as well as allowing assisted living/nursing home statements. The address on the proof of residency document must match the address on the application. Please visit our website for the updated list of proof documents.  \nCaretaker Information Included on Driver’s License or Identification Card Record  \nMinnesotans can now add information to their DVS record that will notify law enforcement that they are a caretaker for someone else. In the event of a crash, law enforcement officers will know that  \nthere is someone at home who is dependent on the caretaker. This means that authorities can quickly respond to ensure the dependent individual is not left unattended. Not only does it offer reassurance that loved ones will be taken care of if the worst happens, but it also relieves anxiety and stress at the thought of leaving loved ones alone.  \nFee and Tax Exemptions for Veterans with Total Service-Connected Disability  \nThis new law exempts veterans with a 100 percent total-service connected disability from registration and wheelage taxes for up to two vehicles, title fees and fees associated with driver’s license and identification cards, including filing fees.  \nExpansion of Eligibility for Veteran Designation on Credential  \nThis new law expands the types of veterans able to get the veteran indicator, as well as the proof documents permitted. The law allows a greater number of Minnesota veterans to have the veteran indicator displayed on their driver’s license or identification card. Qualified applicants now include retired members of the National Guard or a reserve component of the U. S. armed forces. Proof documents include military retiree ID cards, veteran ID cards and veteran health ID cards, in addition to the DD-214 showing honorable or honorable conditions with 181 days of consecutive service.  \nElimination of Written Test Requirement for New Minnesota Residents  \nApplicants for a Minnesota driver’s license who are 21 and older and hold a valid, unexpired license from another state will no longer be required to take the written test.  \nThis new law also waives the written test requirement if the applicant holds a valid two-wheeled (motorcycle) endorsement from another state.  \nOption to Provide Race and Ethnicity Data with Applications  \nBeginning Jan. 1, 2024, applications for new and renewed driver’s licenses and identification cards will ask applicants to provide race and ethnicity data.  \nProviding this data is voluntary and classified as private.  \nData will be shared with the Department of Public Safety Office of Traffic Safety (OTS) for purposes of studying traffic citations, drivers' education and ","cbCais9NnG6XFMCV","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCais9NnG6XFMCV","pdf",6288824,118,"English","# Driver’s License and Identification Card Updates\n## Fee and Filing Changes\n## Driver’s License for All\n## REAL ID Proof of Residency Updates\n## Caretaker Information on Records\n## Veteran-Related Fee Exemptions and Designation Expansion\n## Written Test Requirement Changes for New Residents\n## Voluntary Race and Ethnicity Data Collection\n## Medical and Restricted License Expansions\n## Remote Renewal for Incarcerated Individuals\n## Reintegration License\n## Driver’s Manual and Study Materials\n## Changes to Voter Registration","[{\"question\":\"When did Minnesota increase driver’s license and identification card credential fees?\",\"answer\":\"Credential fees increased as of July 1, 2023, with an additional $6 and a total increase of $6.75 for driver’s license fees after the added surcharge.\"},{\"question\":\"What does “Driver’s License for All” change starting Oct. 1, 2023?\",\"answer\":\"It allows all Minnesotans to obtain a standard Minnesota identification card, permit, or license regardless of immigration status, removing the requirement to show proof of legal presence in the U.S.\"},{\"question\":\"How were REAL ID proof-of-residency documents updated?\",\"answer\":\"As of Aug. 1, 2023, the acceptable documents were updated, including allowing internet and cable bills as utility bills and permitting assisted living or nursing home statements, with the address matching the application address.\"}]","New Laws and Information - Driver’s License and Identification Card Fee Increases | PDF",1790691611,297]
