Northfield DMV Temporarily Closing For New Statewide Vehicle Services System Launch

Press release from the City of Northfield:

November 5, 2020

The Northfield Motor Vehicle Office is closing on Tuesday, November 10 at 4 p.m. and opening on Monday, November 16 at 8 a.m. to allow the State to launch the new MNDRIVE vehicle services system.

During this closure, the State will process all remaining transactions in the Minnesota License and Registration System (MNLARS) and the driver services system (FastDS), before converting to the new and improved MNDRIVE system on November 16.

“We know that closing our office temporarily may inconvenience some, but this is an important step to ensure a smooth transition from MNLARS to MNDRIVE,” said Brenda Angelstad, the City of Northfield’s finance director. “We know this has been a bumpy road with the pandemic and this will be a lot of change for our office and our customers in the next few months, and we hope this helps us to be more efficient and effective so customers have an even better experience coming out of this.”

All exam stations, deputy registrar and driver’s license agent offices statewide are closing or having limiting services during this time. Customers are strongly encouraged to plan ahead and to check the state’s Driver and Vehicle Services’ website for the latest information:
