How to Restore Your Minnesota License After a No-Insurance Suspension

Last checked · Sources listed below

The short answer

These are the steps the Minnesota agency lists to restore a license after a suspension for no insurance. The state's reinstatement fees are $20 to $680, depending on the suspension. Minnesota uses its own proof-of-insurance rule instead of the SR-22 name.

Steps listed by the Minnesota agency

  1. Read the notice of withdrawal DVS mailed to you; it lists the requirements to reinstate your driving privileges.
  2. Submit proof of insurance: upload it online (Form Submissions, Upload Miscellaneous Forms, then Insurance), in person at a local office, with the Insurance Certification form, or by fax to 651-297-5574.
  3. Pay the reinstatement fee ($30 for a revocation for no-fault insurance, $20 for a no-fault insurance suspension) online with a bank account and routing number; credit and debit cards are not accepted online.
  4. Use the driving privilege lookup to confirm your status before driving.

Check your status first

Check your license status or reinstatement requirements on the state's own website before you pay anything.

Check status with the state

Need to drive to work while suspended? The state offers a Limited license (work permit). Many states limit these licenses to certain suspensions, such as DUI cases, so check that it covers yours.
