Minnesota Online Driver Education and Minnesota Licensing Procedures

Congratulations on starting the process of applying for your Minnesota Learner's Permit or first Minnesota driver's license. Minnesota has a Graduated Driver License Program for Minnesota teen drivers, and there are a few things to keep in mind to make sure that applying for your Minnesota driver's license goes as smoothly as possible. So let's get started.

Minnesota Instructional Permit and Minnesota Learner's Permit

The minimum age to apply for a Minnesota Instruction Permit is 15. You'll need to make an appointment at your local Minnesota Driver Vehicle Service (DVS) office after you complete the following:

Complete 30 hours of Minnesota approved driver education classroom instruction
Be enrolled in behind-the-wheel instruction
Be at least 15
Application with parent/legal guardian signature
Certificate of completion for driver education
The required fee

Bring these materials to your local Minnesota DVS. Then you'll have to pass the required vision and written tests. If you survived, then congratulations! You just earned your Minnesota Instruction Permit, which is valid for 2 years.

Remember that with your Minnesota Learner's Permit, you can only practice driving with your parent, guardian, or another licensed driver who is 21. Also, Minnesota teen drivers are prohibited from using a cell phone while driving. Every passenger in your car must have their seatbelt fastened. After you've had your Minnesota Learner's Permit for 6 months, you'll be ready for the next step in the Minnesota Graduated License Program.

The Minnesota Provisional License and Minnesota Full License

In order to apply for your Minnesota provisional driver's license, you'll need to make sure you follow a few Minnesota State requirements before heading down to your local Minnesota DVS:

Be at least 16 and must have held your Minnesota Learner's Permit for at least 6 months without incident
Driver education completion certificate
30 hours of supervised driving
At least 10 hours must be at night

If you've completed the following requirements, head on down to your local Minnesota DVS, where you'll pay the required fee and submit your Minnesota Provisional License application. Then you'll have to take the dreaded road test! If you pass, then congratulations! You've just earned your Minnesota Intermediate driver license! However, you'll still have to drive with a few restrictions for the time being. Your Minnesota Provisional License is valid for 2 years.

Once you've held your Minnesota Intermediate Driver's license for 12 months, you may apply for the Minnesota Full License. One more time, head on down to your local Minnesota DVS office, submit the application and required fee ($24).

Minnesota Teen Driver License Restrictions and Penalties

There are several restrictions you need to keep in mind regarding your Minnesota provisional driver's license:

All passengers must wear seat belts
No using a cell phone while driving (with or without a hands-free device)

With your Minnesota full license, you must abide by the following restrictions for the first 6 months:

No driving between the hours of 12AM and 5AM unless accompanied by a licensed driver 25 or older
That is, unless you're driving to/from your job, a school event that did not offer transportation, or for an emergency
Only one passenger under the age of 20 is permitted

For the following 6 months, you must follow the following restrictions:

Only 3 passengers under 20 allowed in your vehicle
The exception is if your parent/guardian is also in the vehicle

Minnesota Auto Insurance Minnesota Financial Responsibility Laws

Once you receive your Minnesota drivers license, you're ready to drive--or are you? Any vehicle registered in Minnesota must be covered by Personal Injury Protection insurance (PIP) as well as liability insurance.

The minimum coverage PIP coverage is:

$40,000 per person for bodily injury (PIP)
$20,000 for hospital and medical expenses (PIP)
$20,000 for non-medical expenses (PIP)

The minimum liability insurance coverage is:

$30,000 for injury of one person
$60,000 for injury of two or more people
$10,000 for property damage

The minimum uninsured/underinsured coverage is:

$25,000 for injury to one person
$50,000 for injury to two or more people
$25,000 for injuries to one person
$50,000 for injuries to two or more people

If you are found to be driving without Minnesota mandatory liability insurance, your Minnesota Learner's Permit or Minnesota Intermediate license could be suspended and you could be fined.

Minnesota Drunk Driving, Cell Phone, and Text Messaging Laws

As a new Minnesota driver, it's important for you to learn the Minnesota drunk driving, cell phone, and text messaging laws. Minnesota's "Not A Drop" law states that you will lose your Minnesota Instruction Permit or Minnesota Intermediate License if a police officer observes you driving without full control of your vehicle and will suspend your license from 30 to 180 days.

Upon your first conviction of a Minnesota DWI, you'll face the following penalties:

Jail sentence up to 90 days
$1,000 fine
License suspension of 180 days to 1 year
License Reinstatement fee of $250-430 in addition to an application fee of $24
Possible Ignition Lock device installation

And of course, further Minnesota DUI convictions will result in increased jail time, community service, fines, and Minnesota license suspension or even Minnesota license revocation.

Currently, Minnesota teen drivers are prohibited from using cell phones while driving, except to call 911 in an emergency. You also many not compose, read, or send text messages while driving.
