Are Your Minnesota Vehicle Tabs Expiring? Here's What To Do

TWIN CITIES, MN — The Minnesota Department of Public Safety Driver and Vehicle Services division has closed all exam stations to follow the "stay at home" new coronavirus order. Minnesotans will not have access to a number of services, including renewing their driver's licenses or ID cards, during this time.

Gov. Tim Walz signed a bill into law March 28 that provides an extension for Minnesotans whose driver's licenses or ID cards expire during the peacetime emergency. However, there is no such extension or exemption for vehicle tab registration.

If your Minnesota car tabs are expiring, you are still required to get them renewed.

Vehicle Registration

Minnesotans will still be able to renew vehicle registrations online and by mail during the peacetime emergency.

• Renew vehicle registration for a car, pickup under 1 ton or SUV online at drive.mn.gov.
• Mail your vehicle registration by sending the bottom half of your renewal notice with your check or money order made payable to DVS Renewal to: DVS Renewal PO Box 64587 St. Paul, MN 55164-0587

Minnesotans have until the last day of the expiration month to renew their vehicle registration. They must display their registration stickers by the 10th of the following month.

For example, Minnesotans whose vehicle registration expires in April have until April 30 to renew their registration and until May 10 to display the new stickers on their license plates.

DVS will continue to receive and process mailed renewals, deposit checks and mail license plates and stickers to customers.
