BEMIDJI -- The Minnesota Department of Public Safety recently announced an extension of driver’s license and ID cards for the 132,000 Minnesotans who have COVID-19 until March 31.
Minnesotans should renew as soon as possible. They can either go in-person or online, the quickest and easiest renewal option is to renew online at drive.mn.gov .
This option is available for standard driver’s license or ID card renewals that do not require name, address, signature or driver’s license number changes. A person’s record is updated as soon as the online application is complete, a release said.
Minnesotans must renew in-person to make changes to their driver’s license or ID card or apply for a REAL ID or enhanced driver’s license or ID card. The exam stations accept renewal applications on a first-come-first-served basis. No appointments are required.
The Bemidji Exam Station will be open from 8 a.m. to noon on Saturday, March 27 to serve Minnesotans who received extensions and need to renew their expiring driver’s license, the release said.
