Motor Vehicle Office


We are now accepting all walk-in's!

We would like to encourage our customers to support their local DMV office by renewing their registration in person!


Save time by pre-applying for your Driver's License by going to: https://dps.mn.gov/divisions/dvs/Pages/default.aspx.

For customers with registration renewals: We will continue to offer a drop-box option. Included with the registration renewal form, we will need a contact number, a form of payment, and insurance information. These renewals will be collected at the drop box located in the Motor Vehicle Entrance across from the door at 412 4th Street, Moose Lake, MN 55767 and will be returned to you via mail. 

Documents needed for Permit issuance: Customers will need to bring a certified birth certificate, their blue card, and their Social Security card. If you are under the age of 18 a parent signature will also be required.

New To State Customers: Customers new to the state with a Class D driver's license will need to bring a valid driver's license, a birth certificate or passport, their Social Security card, and proof of any name changes. 

Real ID's and Enhanced (EDL): We are currently processing Real ID's and the Enhanced (EDL) in our office. Go to dvs.dps.mn.gov to read instructions and obtain information on the documents required to apply for these types of driver's licenses. Due to the length of time required to facilitate these transactions, processing of Real ID's and Enhanced (EDL's) will not take place after 3:30pm each day.
