From FOX 9 Twin Cities

The Brief …

  • A pilot program to print class D drivers’ licenses for Minnesotans will be discontinued on Oct. 31, 2025.
  • Officials with the program say they recommended it not be expanded due to the differences in the quality and appearance of cards produced compared to those mailed.
  • FOX 9 previously reported several Minnesotans who encountered problems with the same-day licenses, running into issues at both bars and airports due to their appearance.

A pilot program to offer same-day driver’s licenses that was aimed at being convenient – but ended up causing problems for some Minnesotans who were accused of carrying fake IDs after trying to use them – will be discontinued at the end of the month.
