What to bring

  • out-of-state title or registration documents
  • Minnesota insurance policy information
  • Minnesota address and owner identity details
  • title and registration application materials

Likely next steps

  1. Use Minnesota's title-and-registration path for new Minnesotans instead of treating the vehicle like a normal renewal.
  2. Gather the ownership documents, insurance information, and registration materials before visiting a deputy registrar or DVS office.
  3. Complete the move-in title and registration first so later renewals happen on the correct Minnesota record.
