What to bring

  • signed title or ownership documents
  • Minnesota insurance information
  • Minnesota title and registration application materials
  • payment for title, registration, and tax handling

Likely next steps

  1. Use Minnesota's title-transfer process instead of a normal renewal when ownership is changing.
  2. Gather the title, insurance information, and application materials before visiting a deputy registrar or DVS office.
  3. Complete the ownership and title work first so future registration and renewal happen on the correct Minnesota record.
